Using e-mail

connection and e-mail address. E-mail is usually a free service of your Internet
account.

e-mail messages arrive at most e-mail addresses in minutes.

An e-mail address consists of a user name, the @ symbol, and the Internet
domain name of the Internet service provider (ISP) or company that “hosts” that

ISP. For example, a person with an account with Hotmail might have an e-mail
