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:

  1. Email client: You use an email client (like Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo Mail) to compose and send emails.
  2. Email server: The email client sends the email to an email server, which is a computer that stores and manages email messages.
  3. Recipient's email client: The email server forwards the email to the recipient's email client, where it's stored and displayed.
  4. Recipient reads the email: The recipient can then read the email using their email client.

Basic email components

  1. Subject: A brief summary of the email's content.
  2. From: The sender's email address.
  3. To: The recipient's email address.
  4. Body: The main content of the email.
  5. Attachments: Files or documents sent along with the email.

Common email features

  1. Reply: Respond to an email by sending a new message.
  2. Forward: Send an email to someone else, copying the original sender.
  3. CC (Carbon Copy): Send a copy of an email to someone else, in addition to the original recipient.
  4. BCC (Blind Carbon Copy): Send a copy of an email to someone else, without revealing the recipient's email address.
  5. Spam filter: A feature that helps block unwanted or junk emails.
