    Advantages of an E-Mail

                     E-mails have various advantages, some of them are:
                       An e-mail is a way to communicate virtually with anyone in the world.

                       An e-mail can be sent anytime and from anywhere in the world.
                       An e-mail can be sent to many people at a time.

                       An e-mail can be easily forwarded to anyone without typing it again.
                       Sending an e-mail is fast in comparison to traditional mails.

                       Music, images or any other computer file can be shared with anyone by using e-mail.
                        If an e-mail does not reach its destination in the first attempt, the mail server automatically
                        sends it again.

                        If an e-mail is not delivered, you receive an e-mail explaining the problem why the e-mail
                        could not be delivered.
                     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 every Internet user. Some examples of
                     e-mail addresses are as under:

                                                    orangeeducation123@gmail.com

                                                         info@orangeeducation.in

                     Although these e-mail addresses have different formats  orangeeducation123@gmail.com
                     depending upon the type of network but always have same                       Username       Domain name
                     form—a username and a domain name—separated by @ (pronounced as ‘at’) symbol. The portion
                     before the at (@) symbol is called the username 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 particular server or network for sending or receiving e-mails.

                                       Imagine,  if  your  emails  could  be  delivered  by  virtual  birds  that  fly  across  the
                                       Internet. What kinds of birds would deliver different types of messages?

                     Creating An E-mail Account

                     are Gmail, Yahoo, Rediffmail, Outlook, etc. You can create your e-mail account with any of
                     these service providers. The most common general purpose and free e-mail service provider

                     is Gmail. You can open account with any of the other service providers also.

                                                                                                  Internet and E-mail  85
