EMAIL

 

 Email 

  In its simplest form, e-mail is an electronic message sent from one device to another.

E-mail passes from one computer, known as a mail server,
to another as it travels over the Internet.
Once it arrives at the destination mail server,
it's stored in an electronic mailbox until the recipient retrieves it. 

 
Breakdown of a E-Mail Address
 1)First there is the user name (You) that refers to the recipient's mailbox.
 
   2)Then there's an at sign (@).

   3)Next comes the host name (yourhost), also called the domain name

            You@ yourhost.com

Oh, sorry....I meant to add that if you use your own domain name, it doesn't matter what service you use, you can configure it to work with ANY ISP.
