E-Mail

An e-mail is very similar to a written letter. You write your message and then you send it. However, an e-mail is completely digital and you don't have to use any stamps or go to the post office!

The benefits of using e-mail are numerous. Most importantly, it's a free form of communication and many people and businesses utilize e-mail and so should you.

Many people simply logon to the Internet only to check their e-mails or to send an e-mail message to someone else. E-mail is a very important tool that you need to take advantage of.

A sample e-mail address looks like the following:

yourname@somedomain.com

Every e-mail address has four different parts. First, there is the person's name or nickname. For example, the "yourname" part of the e-mail address above is your name/nickname. The second part of an e-mail address is the famous @ sign. Anyone and everyone who has an e-mail address will have this famous @ sign. The @ stands for "at"! The third part of an e-mail address is the domain where the email account is registered with. For example, "somedomain.com" is the domain where the "yourname" e-mail account is registered with.
