Electronic Mail (E-Mail, email)
Definition by Best Host Ratings
It is one of the most popular Internet services. Email is electronic messaging that uses standard conventions for addressing and delivering content across the Internet. An email message has three parts: a header, a message, and attachments (documents or computer readable files). The header contains much technical information about the source and the route the message took from sender to recipient. Most of this is irrelevant to normal users, but it is useful to have when things go wrong. You have to have an email account in order to be able to use this service. Usually you get several email accounts with the web hosting provider that hosts your domain name.
