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:
