Question

Even with the multimedia excitement of the web. Electronic Mail, e?mail, is the most frequently used application of the Internet. Many people who have a chance to use the Internet at school, home, and work. They use the Internet for no other purposes than to send or receive e?mails.

It's all very easy. You prepare the message, log onto(登錄) the Internet, and send it. The message first goes to your Internet Service Provider's mail server, which in turn sends it to the recipient's(郵件接收者) mail server. On the way your message may go through several servers, each reading the name in order to send it to the right server. The message then remains in the recipient's mail e?mail server until he requests it by “checking his mail”.

The benefits of e?mails are obvious: mostly it's quick. Also, many people feel that the rules for regular mails don't apply to e?mail, making it less formal, which in turn make e?mail easier to write and send.

It's not just friends and co?workers that are receiving e?mails. Wherever you look, the Web is providing e?mail addresses. This has made communication between strangers easier than ever. You can read an interesting article online and immediately send the author an e?mail. Anyone who posts his e?mail address on a Web page is saying he wants to receive e?mail.

There are places you can go if you don't know someone's e?mail address. Check out Bigfoot, the Internet Address Finder, or Netscape's E?mail Directories for more information.

E?mail is one of the services offered by your Internet Service Provider—a service that you're applying for every month.
