What is email?

Email - the main means of communication

Internet and is considered the oldest online service.

Its existence it began in the mid 70s.

Its principle of operation is quite simple: you connect to the computer system,write a letter and send it to the person whose computer is connected to the other system. The message goes through a maze of interconnected computer systems, until it reaches its destination.

With the help of e-mail processing program you can not only

send text messages, and attach files to emails other

types: documents, spreadsheets, graphics, audio and video files.

E-mail is similar to ordinary mail.

Only instead of pen and paper, you use the keyboard,

typing letters in the text box, the mail program or web browser.

Sending by pressing the "Send" or similar.

In the role of post offices are the e-mail servers, and Internet channels are postmen. Mail servers store the electronic mailboxes of the users. As soon as the user looks in his mailbox, he immediately saw the letters received. And then - a matter of a few minutes (or seconds) to read it.

Personal Mailbox - disk space on the mail server, dedicated for storing inbound and outbound user messages.

After connecting to the mail server, the user can:

• placed in a mailbox for outgoing messages;

• withdraw from the mailbox inbox.

For inexperienced users specify, that your mailbox on the mail

server - this is the internet and does not fill your computer's memory.

You can store in folders on the server you need a letter. I specify that I question, because faced with the users, which remove all the letters, immediately after reading them. And on mail servers, and social networks. Explaining this to the fact they do not want to score the memory of your computer.

How to create e-mail ?

In today's Internet to do without at least one e-mail address is quite difficult. Not only do you lose a convenient means of communication with family and friends who live far away, with business partners, you can not create virtually the same service in the web.

We have already seen what the e-mail and how does it work, now let's move on to the practice. Let's look at the process of creating a mailbox on Gmail free mail example.

Quite popular free e-mail from the American search engine Gmail. To start the registration process, open your browser www.Gmail.com site and click on the link "Create your mailbox."

The folders in the mailbox

If a letter can not be delivered (for example, the specified e-mail does not exist) after a while you will receive an error message. Let's say you write the letter until there is no one, but the hands are very itchy to try, you can send an email to yourself, enough to enter into a coma field, your own email address.
