The most widely-used function on the Internet is e-mail (electronic mail).
E-mail is the transmission and distribution of information through personal computers linked to the telephone system, which allows subscribers to send a message directly to another subscriber that will appear in their electronic mail box.
Using e-mail, you can send messages to anyone with an Internet account, and most businesses today have an electronic mailing address.
E-mail is cheap and easy to use. In business, e-mail provides cheap and rapid communication between the employees of an organization, and between a company and its clients and suppliers.
An e-mail address contains an identifier, i.e. the user name. After that comes the symbol “@” (pronounced “at”), followed by the domain name, which identifies the server that is used to send your mail, the category of organization and the country code. The different elements of the domain name are separated by dots. There is no full stop at the end.
Example: chef@coral.com.cy
| chef | @ | coral | .com | .cy |
| identifier | “at” symbol | name of organization | type of organization | country |
This e-mail address is said in the following way: chef, at coral, dot com, dot Cy.
