What is email? Print

  • 1

Email, short for "electronic mail," is a method of exchanging messages between people over the internet or other computer networks. An email message typically consists of a subject line, the message itself, and any attachments. To send or receive an email, you need an email address and an email client, software that allows you to send and receive email messages. Some examples of email clients are Outlook, Gmail, and Thunderbird. Email has become one of the most widely used forms of online communication, and is used for personal and professional purposes.
