E-mail

E-mail, the electronic exchange of messages from one person to another, was one of the original features of the Internet. E-mail enabled scientists and researches working on government-sponsored projects to communicate with their colleagues at other locations. Today, e-mail is still a widely used Internet feature. Anything that can be digitized - pictures, sound, video – can be sent, retrieved and printed on the other end.

Internet e-mail works essentially the same as e-mail on other system — messages can be created, sent, forwarded, stored, printed, and deleted. To receive e-mail over the Internet, you must have a mailbox, which is a file used to collect your messages on an Internet computer. Although your mailbox can be located anywhere on the Internet, it usually is located on the computer that connects you to the Internet, such as the server operated by your Internet service provider (ISP). Most ISPs and online services provide an Internet e-mail program and a mailbox as a standard part of their Internet access services.

An Internet mailbox address is a combination of a user name and the domain name that identifies the location of the mailbox computer. Your user name, or user-ID, is a unique combination of characters that identifies you. It must be different from other user names located on the same mailbox computer. A user name sometimes is limited to eight characters and often is a combination of your first and last names, such as the initial of your first name plus your last name.
