What is a E-mail?

Electronic Mail is a process of sending and receiving text based messages over the
Internet. You must have an e-mail address to access e-mail on the Internet. The e-mail
address is similar to your postal address. While sending an e-mail, we enter the e-mail
address (s) of the recipient(s) so that the computer should know where to sent it.
An E-mail address consists of two parts, separated by @ ('at') symbol. An E-mail address
cannot contain spaces. E. g. amazing-cyber@gmail. com.
