To get connected to any newsgroup, a user needs to configure the software to read and post to the
                 newsgroups provided by the ISP.

                 Requirement for Connecting to a Newsgroup
                 There are mainly two requirements for connecting to a newsgroup that are:

                   Software Requirements: To connect to a newsgroup, the user needs a newsgroup client.

                   Service Requirements: To receive messages from a Newsgroup, the user has to connect to a Newsgroup
                    server. Many ISPs run their own Newsgroup server (apart from being connected to Internet).
                 e-Mail

                 Electronic mail is a  mailing service provided by
                 the Internet by which one can send messages  to
                 any  person around the world  through  computer.
                 It has become the fastest, easiest  and cheapest
                 means of communication for business, governance,
                 administration, education, tourism, etc.

                 An individual who  avails the  services of Internet,
                 must have a unique e-mail address i.e., (e-mail ID) by
                 which and to which messages are sent and received
                 and that  can be accessed from anywhere at any
                 point of time, with Internet connectivity.
                 Mails are received in mailbox of an e-mail recipient. No two mail IDs can be identical. For example, a
                 typical e-mail address would look like: editorial@orangeducation.in

                 Generally, there are two parts of an e-mail address: i.e., the login identity and identity of the e-mail server,
                 both of which are separated by @ (at the rate) symbol.

                                              editorial@orangeeducation.in




                                               Username             Domain name


                   Username: An e-mail address has a user identification (name) that contains some characters, here
                    ‘editorial’.
                   @ (at the rate): The ‘@’ i.e., ‘at the rate’ sign connects the username with the domain name
                    i.e., second part.

                   Domain Name: The ‘domain’ or ‘domain name’ is the last name and it shows the host website or the
                    location of the e-mail account on the net. Host website is the site in which e-mail ID is created.

                 All the received mails get displayed in the inbox folder of our account. We can click on an email to read
                 it. We can  use the  Compose/New  Mail option to write a new  mail. The email composing screen is
                 composed of the following fields:
                   To: This field contains the email address of the recipient.
