E-mail



In chapter four I learned about e-mail systems. To communicate on e-mail, you have to create and e-mail address. In an e-mail address you create an id which is the first part of your address. The second part of an e-mail address is the the host name. Your host name is where you created your e-mial. Some of the different host names for e-mial addresses are, yahoo, aol, verizon and msn. The third part on an e-mail address is the top level domain. Some examples of top level domains are .net .com and .edu. E-mail used to be used mainly for businesses. It is now used today for various reasons. Business people use it communicate with their clients, people use it to stay in touch with friends and family and communicate with their teachers in school. When you are writing an email most of the layouts consists of a line for who you are writing to, a subject line, an attach line, and the body. You can also include a signature when writing an e-mail. An e-mail has an inbox, outbox, drafts, and junk e-mial folders. If you want to share an email that you received from someone else you can forward it to that person. If there is a picture or document that you want to send, you can add an attachment to your e-mail. Folders are are great way to keep your e-mials organized. You can create a folder for each type of e-mials that you have. You could separate your business mail for your personal mail.
