What is electronic mail address

An electronic mail address, also known as an email address, is a unique identifier used to send and receive electronic mail (email) messages over the internet. It is a string of characters that identifies a specific email account and is used to send and receive emails.

An email address typically consists of two parts:

1. Local part: This is the part that comes before the "@" symbol and is usually the username or alias chosen by the email account owner.
2. Domain: This is the part that comes after the "@" symbol and is the domain name of the email provider or organization.

Examples of email addresses:

• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]

The local part can be any combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, but it must be unique within the domain. The domain part is usually a top-level domain (TLD) such as.com,.org,.net, or a country-code TLD (ccTLD) such as.us,.uk, etc.

Email addresses are used to send and receive emails using various protocols such as Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Post Office Protocol (POP), and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP).
