1. Sending Email

Email stands for Electronic mail. It provides a way of sending messages from one computer to another.

1. Each Email you send must have an address to identify who the Email is to be sent to and;
2. Should also include a subject.
   • The subject should give an idea what the Email is about, and encourages people to open their Email, and not automatically delete it.

An Email address identifies the user and where their mailbox is. E.g. paulsmith@hotmail.com shows that the user Paul Smith has a mailbox at hotmail.com (@ is pronounced 'at').

A wrongly addressed email, e.g. paulsmith@hotmal.com will not be received by the person it is being sent to. In this case, the Email will 'bounce', which is where a message is sent to your account saying that the Email could not be delivered.
