 Electronic mail, commonly called e-mail or email, is a
method of exchanging digital messages from an author to
one or more recipients. Modern email operates across the
internet or other computer networks. Some early email
systems required that the author and the recipients both be
online at the same time, in common with instant
messaging.
 Today’s email systems are based on a store-and-forward
model. Email serves accept, forward, deliver and store
messages. Neither the users nor their computers are
required to be online simultaneously ; they need connect
only briefly , typically to an email server, for as long as it
takes to send or receive messages.
To send and receive e-mail messages, you can use an
e-mail program, also known as an e-mail client,
such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird.
An e-mail client needs to connect to a server to
download new e-mail , whereas e-mail stored online
is always available ,from any of your devices
connected to the internet.
An alternative way of sending and receiving e-mail (and
the more popular solution for most people) is an online e-
mail service or webmail. Examples include Hotmail
(now Outlook.com) ,Gmail and Yahoo Mail.
1. TO :- It is the field where you type the e-mail address of
the person who is the recipient of your message.
2. FROM :- It contains your e-mail address.
* If you are replying to a messages , the TO and FROM
fields are automatically filled out.
3. SUBJECT :- It consist of the words which describe what
e-mail is about.
4. CC [ Carbon Copy ] :- This fields allows you to specify
recipients who are not direct addressees ( listed in the
“TO” field ) .
5. BCC [Blind Carbon Copy ] :- This field is similar to CC ,
except the recipients are secret. Each BCC recipient
will receive the e-mail , but not see who else received a
copy . The addresses ( anyone listed in the “TO” field)
remain visible to all recipients.
6. MESSAGE BODY :- It is the location where you type
your main message. It often contains your signature at
the bottom; similar to a handwritten letter.
 An e-mail must have a username followed by @ ( the at
sign ) which is followed by the domain name and domain
suffix.
 The username cannot be longer than 64 characters long,
and the domain name cannot be longer than 254
characters.
 There should be only one @ sign in an e-mail address.
 The space and special characters : (),;:<>/[] are allowed .
Occasionally a space , backslash and quotation mark
work but must be preceded with a forward slash.
Although valid, some e-mail providers do not allow these
characters.
 The username and e-mail addresses as a whole cannot
begin or end with a period .
 The e-mail must not have two or more consecutive
periods.
 FREE DELIVERY :- Sending an e-mail is virtually free,
outside the cost of internet service. There is no need to
buy a postage stamp to send a letter.
 GLOBAL DELIVERY :- E-mail can be sent to nearly
anywhere around the world, to any country.
 INSTANT DELIVERY :- An e-mail can be instantly sent
and received by the recipient over the internet.
 FILE ATTACHMENT :- An e-mail can include one or more
file attachments, allowing a person to send documents,
pictures or other files with an e-mail.
 LONG TERM STORAGE :- E-mail are stored electronically,
which allows for storage and archival over long periods of
time.
 ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY :- Sending an e-mail does
not require paper(paperless), cardboard, or packing tape,
conserving paper resources.
 IMPERSONAL :- E-mails are less personal compared to
many other forms of communications , such as talking
over the phone , or meeting face to face.
 MISUNDERSTANDING :- It is easy for
misunderstandings to occur with e-mail, as there is only
text and no tone of voice ,or body language to provide
context.
 TIME CONSUMING :- Reading, writing and responding to
the e-mails can take up vast amounts of time and energy.
 MALICIOUS USE :- E-mails can be sent anonymously ,
which means that they are sometimes used maliciously
to bully or upset people . Likewise ,they can used to spread
gossips ,or false information.
 INFORMATION OVERLOAD :- In part because e-mails
are so easy to send to multiple people, they can create
information overload.
 PRESSURE TO RESPOND :- People get annoyed if you
don’t answer their e-mails, they think you are ignoring
them, so there is constant pressure on you to keep opening
them and then respond in some way.
