E-Mail Addressing
l
Every E-Mail user has a unique address where you
can send mail. Think of an E-Mail address like a
mailing address where you receive postal mail.
l
Everybody in your town or city has a unique street
address which allows your mailman to deliver mail
to each person or household.
l
With E-Mail, your street, city, state and zip code is
combined into a single descriptor called a Domain.
Think of a domain like “123 Maple Street, Cincinnati,
OH 12354” in the postal mail world. Each user within
a Domain is assigned a name, just as each person
in your household has a unique name.
l
An E-Mail address is simply a combination of a
name and a Domain, combined with the @ symbol to
separate the two. So, for example, an E-Mail
address might look like:
jane @ usmessage.net
Name@ Domain Name
which is like saying:
“The Jane who lives at 123 Maple Street in
Cincinnati Ohio, 12354.”
l
The difference between domains and actual
real-world locations like “123 Maple Street” is that
people belonging to an E-Mail domain may be
physically located all over the world. The many
E-Mail post offices take care of delivering each
person’s mail no matter where you live by using
domains.
l
Notice that the domain name has a period (.)
followed by .net. The .net is an address extension
that means the domain is network E-Mail address,
as opposed to a university/school (.edu),
government (.gov), or a commercial public (.com)
domain. You will probably see addresses ending in
all of these possible endings and others. It is only
important that you enter a person’s entire E-Mail
address exactly as it spelled, including the domain
and extension (.com, .edu, .gov, etc.).To see your
E-mail address, go to Main Menu-Extras-Users-
Your Account-Edit at the third line down.
