What is email?
Email (short for Electronic Mail) is a way to send and receive messages electronically over the internet. It's a popular form of communication that allows users to send messages, files, and other data to others.
How does email work?
Here's a simplified overview:
- Email client: You use an email client (like Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo Mail) to compose and send emails.
- Email server: The email client sends the email to an email server, which is a computer that stores and manages email messages.
- Recipient's email client: The email server forwards the email to the recipient's email client, where it's stored and displayed.
- Recipient reads the email: The recipient can then read the email using their email client.
Basic email components
- Subject: A brief summary of the email's content.
- From: The sender's email address.
- To: The recipient's email address.
- Body: The main content of the email.
- Attachments: Files or documents sent along with the email.
