Key Concept
Have you ever sent or received e-mail? If you have an e-mail address, you can exchange written messages with millions of people in the world who also have e-mail addresses. You can send or receive e-mail anytime and anywhere that you can connect to the Internet.
E-mail is one of the most powerful technologies ever invented. It has been one of the most popular online activities since the very beginning of the Internet. Before e-mail was invented, sending a written message to someone took days. E-mail can deliver a written message almost instantly and the recipient can read and reply to the message whenever it is convenient.
E-mail allows people in different schools, cities, and countries to communicate as easily as if they are in the same building. Work that used to take days to complete, now can be completed in a matter of minutes.
E-mail has four basic components—address, message, mail client, and mail server. You have to understand each of these four components to understand how e-mail works. The more you know about how e-mail works, the more you can do with it.
