What is Email ?
Electronic mail ("email")
works very much like postal mail. You receive
mail at your own "address", and
you send mail to others at their addresses.
If you are on the Internet,
you already have an email address (e.g., "replace@internetguys.ca").
The name before the "@" symbol identifies
the recipient of the mail (it can be a person,
a position, or the name of a department or
company). The information that follows the
"@" symbol identifies the computer
to which the mail is sent.
If you have used a computer
to type a letter, then you have most of the
skills needed to send email. The only difference
is that with regular mail you would have to
print out the letter and put it in a mailbox,
whereas with email you press a key or two
and the letter is transmitted electronically
to the recipient. If the recipient of your
email has an account with a server on the
Internet, then he or she can read your letter
within a few seconds.
We recommend our clients to
use Internet Explorer's email program Outlook
Express. It is very user friendly.
