            E-Mail Address


            You need to have an electronic address to send and receive e-mails. This electronic

            Although these e-mail addresses have different formats depending upon the type
            of network  but always have same  form— a user name and a domain name—
            separated by @ (pronounced as ‘at’) symbol. The portion before the at (@) symbol

            is called the user name and the later one is called domain name. The username is
            unique  to every  individual sending or  receiving  e-mails. The  domain name is
