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?
