Whenever mail servers talk to each other, they look for MX records at the destination's DNS. When a DNS server is setup for a domain and that domain has mail capabilities, their DNS server will have at least one MX record to denote which server handles mail. The root DNS servers for the internet denote the addresses for the SOA (start of authority) DNS servers for a particular domain.

What is used by email systems such as Microsoft Ecchange to locate mail servers in different networks?
The mail exchanger (MX) resource record specifies a server that is configured to act as a mail server for a DNS name. The mail server identified by an MX record is a host that either process or forwards mail for a DNS domain name. Processing the mail means either delivering it to the addressee or passing it to a different type of mail transport. Forwarding the mail means sending it to its final destination server, sending it by using Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to another mail exchange server that is closer to the final destination, or queuing it for a specified amount of time.----from Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration (Exam 70-640) Lesson 4 - Configuring the DNS Server Role
What is the difference between mail server and web server?
A Web server is a program that, using the client/server model and the World Wide Web's Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ), serves the files that form Web pages to Web users (whose computers contain HTTP clients that forward their requests). Every computer on the Internet that contains a Web site must have a Web server program. Two leading Web servers are Apache , the most widely-installed Web server, and Microsoft's Internet Information Server ( IIS ). Other Web servers include Novell's Web Server for users of its NetWare operating system and IBM's family of Lotus Domino servers, primarily for IBM's OS/390 and AS/400 customersA mail server (also known as a mail transfer agent or MTA, a mail transport agent, a mail router or an Internet mailer) is an application that receives incoming e-mail from local users (people within the same domain) and remote senders and forwards outgoing e-mail for delivery. A computer dedicated to running such applications is also called a mail server. Microsoft Exchange, qmail, Exim and sendmail are among the more common mail server programs
What is IMAP?
Along with POP3, IMAP is one of two prevailing electronic mail protocols. IMAP is an acronym for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is is an Application Layer Internet protocol, meaning that it allows an e-mail client application to access electronic mail on a remote mail server. IMAP differs from the other prevailing e-mail protocol, POP3, in that the client's e-mail is retained in a set of private message directories on the IMAP mail server itself. This allows messages to be easily synchronized across multiple e-mail clients on multiple devices. POP3 protocol delivers messages to the client application for storage on the client device. Messages are subsequently deleted from the POP3 server, making synchronization of multiple devices more difficult. POP3 was the preferred e-mail protocol when server power and storage capacity were at a premium, and before the rise of ubiquitous Internet-enabled mobile devices. More recently, IMAP has supplanted POP3 as the most predominant e-mail protocol. All web-mail services (GMail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, etc.) are based on IMAP. Microsoft Exchange is also a form of IMAP. Today, nearly all Internet and private electronic mail servers support IMAP.
