NOTE

ELECTRONIC MAIL

E-mail stands for Electronic Mail.

It is a method of transmitting (sending and receiving) electronic messages from one person to another across computer networks.

The greatest advantage of e-mail is its fastness.

 

Note that any unsolicited e-mail is called a junk.

 

ELECTRONIC MAIL SERVICES

An e-mail service typically refers to a Web-based e-mail provider such as Google and Yahoo, that offers e-mail services.

 

Note that the e-mail service is the platform provided to users to create, send and receive e-mails irrespective of the provider, while e-mail service providers are the different companies that directly or indirectly provide e-mail services for users.

 

  1. Sending and Receiving Mails
  2. Chatting

 

  1. Sending and Receiving Mails: Individuals from all parts of the world can send and receive mails containing text, pictures, music, etc., to each other through the Internet. The sender and receiver must have their unique e-mail addresses and passwords before the e-mail can be sent or received.

An e-mail address identifies an e-mail box to which e-mail messages are delivered i.e., it is an electronic address assigned to a user who has registered or opened an e-mail account or box with an e-mail service provider such as yahoo, google, etc. This address is unique to the individual and all the mails bearing that address are received by the user on that account.

A password, on the other hand, is made of two words: PASS and WORD. In simple terms it is simply a secret word or set of characters (letters, numbers or symbols) that gives a pass or access to an individual to enter into a computer system, network or database. Without the password there is no way you can be granted access.

 

Note that both e-mail address and password enable high level of online security.

 

  1. Chatting: This is the process of exchanging text (typed messages) via keyboard in real-time through a computer network or on the internet as if having a face-to-face conversation.
