E-Mail
Stands for Electronic Mail, email is information/data stored in our computer that is exchanged between two or more users over telecommunications. E-mail is may be a message that may contain text, files, images, or other attachments to sent through a network to a specified individual or group of individuals.
The first e-mail was sent by Ray Tomlinson in 1971. Tomlinson sent the e-mail to himself as a test e-mail message, containing the text "something like QWERTYUIOP." However, despite sending the e-mail to himself, the e-mail message was still transmitted through ARPANET.
By 1996, more electronic mail was sent than postal mail.
E-mail address overview
The first portion of all e-mail addresses, the part before the @ symbol, contains the alias, user, group, or department of a company. In our above example, "support" is the Technical Support department at Computer Hope.
Next, the "@" (at sign) is a divider in the e-mail address; it's required for all SMTP e-mail addresses since Ray Tomlinson sent the first message.
Finally, "computerhope.com" is the domain name of where the user belongs. The ".com" is the TLD (top-level domain) for our domain.
