Similar to Web pages all e-mail accounts have unique addresses indicating
which computer to send mail to. For email, an address usually has two
parts, your user ID (usually your name) and the identity of your e-mail service. These two
parts are separated by the symbol @.
The following e-mail address demonstrates these parts: billy_the_kid@hotmail.com |
|||
| billy_the_kid | This is called your user ID and is used when you sign in to your e-mail service. Notice how "_" is used to separate words in the name. Because e-mail names cannot contain spaces, the symbol "_" is used to connect many words into one long word. | ||
| @ | This is an "at" sign. It separates the persons name from the name of the e-mail service they are using. | ||
| hotmail.com | This indicates which e-mail service you are using and its location on the web. This address if for Hotmail, Microsoft's free e-mail service. | ||
|
The above e-mail address would be said like: billy_the_kid at hotmail.com |
