Email

 

Electronic mail or email is information stored on a computer that is exchanged between two users over telecommunications.

Email is a message that may    contain text, files, images or any other attachments sent through a network to a specified individual or group of individuals.


 

Structure of email

 

Click the Compose button and then writing an e-mail contents

When sending an e-mail message, several fields are required to be filled:

         The To field is where you type the e-mail address of the person who is the recipient of your message.

         The From field should contain your e-mail address.

         If you are replying to a message, the To and From fields are automatically filled out; if it's a new message, you'll need to enter them manually.

         The Subject should consist of a few words describing the e-mail's contents. The Subject lets the recipient see what the e-mail is about, without opening and reading the full e-mail. This field is optional.

         The CC (Carbon Copy) field allows you to specify recipients who are not direct addressees (listed in the "To" field). This field is optional.

         The BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) field is similar to CC, except the recipients are secret. Each BCC recipient will receive the e-mail, but will not see who else received a copy. The addressees (anyone listed in the "To" field) remain visible to all recipients. This field is optional.


         Finally, the Message Body is the location you type your main message. It often contains your signature at the bottom; similar to a hand-written letter.
