Oh, how much time we spent inqueues at the post office - it's scary to remember. And how long did the letter travel? Days, weeks, months ... Fortunately, the transfer of information with the advent of the Internet and e-mail does not take so long. Sended and voila - your letter already on the other end of the globe lies to itself in an electronic box. With e-mail it became clear, but what is an e-mail address?

Say your email address

Without this address, you can not create a mailbox invirtual space, and all because the distribution system will not understand who, and most importantly - where to send information. The e-mail address can be compared to the real address of the residence. Without an address, guests and acquaintances can not come to you - they simply will not be able to find you. Also with an email address that indicates the location of the individual mailbox.

Email address value

I wonder what is the email address? The address consists of only three parts:

  • Login, user name. This name is arbitrary, written in Latin letters. The main criterion of choice is uniqueness. If liusya100 is already registered on the mail service, then you will not be able to assign yourself the same username. It will be necessary to think of something else, for example: kwa101.
  • The so-called "dog" or the separating sign @. "Dog" is a distinctive sign of the address of the mail - without it anywhere. Settled this "dog" on the Internet in 1972 and so it remained, becoming popular and recognizable. The @ sign sounds like "et" in Russian. In the international character set this sign is called "commercial" et ".
  • The name of the server that provides mail services. For example: yandex.ru, mail.ru, microsoft.com. The server name consists of a top level domain (en, com) and a lower level (yandex, mail, microsoft).

As a result, we get the following email addresses: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected].
