                 E-Mail Address

                 You need to have an electronic address to send and receive e-mails. This electronic

                 address is called e-mail address. The e-mail address is unique for each e-mail user.
                 Some examples of e-mail addresses are as under:

                 Although these e-mail addresses have different formats depending upon the type
                 of e-mail service but always have same form— a user name and a domain name—
                 separated by @ (pronounced as ‘at’) symbol. The portion before the at (@) symbol
                 is called the user name and the later one is called domain name. The username is

                 unique  to every  individual sending or  receiving  e-mails. The  domain name is
                 common to all the individuals using a               orangeeducation123@gmail.com
                 particular e-mail service for sending or

                 receiving e-mails.                                             User name            Domain name

                   The first person to send an e-mail across a network was Ray Tomlinson. He used the “@” sign
                   to separate the names of the user and the domain name.

                 Creating an E-mail Account


                 There are various websites that give e-mail service free of cost. Some of them
                 are Gmail, Yahoo, Rediffmail, Hotmail, etc. You can create your e-mail account
