                   An e-mail is a way to communicate virtually with anyone in the world.

                    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.

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