What is e-mail? In its simplest form, e-mail is an electronic message sent from
one computer to another. ... E-mail is the way to go. Its no
wonder e-mail has become the most popular service on the Internet.
Follow the Trail
Just as a letter makes stops at different postal stations along its way, e-mail
passes from one computer, known as a mail server, to another as it travels over
the Internet. Once it arrives at the destination mail server, its stored in an
electronic mailbox until the recipient retrieves it. ...
Sending and Receiving Messages
To receive e-mail, you must have an account on a mail server. ... One advantage over regular mail is
that you can retrieve your e-mail from anywhere location. Once you connect to
your mail server, you download your messages to your computer.
To send e-mail, you need a connection to the Internet and access to a mail
server that forwards your mail. The standard protocol used for sending Internet e-mail
is called SMTP, short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. ...
When you send an e-mail message, your computer routes it to an SMTP server. The
server looks at the e-mail address (similar to the address on an envelope), then
forwards it to the recipients mail server, where it is stored until the
addressee retrieves it. You can send e-mail anywhere in the world to anyone who has an e
-mail address. Remember, almost all Internet service providers and all major
online services offer at least one e-mail address with every account.
Internet e-mail addresses typically have two main parts:

recipient has an electronic mailbox. ...

account, just make sure you have all account information: username, password
(usually the same as Dial-up connection), SMTP and POP3 server -this is where all
your messages are stored,
its like a mailbox.
