About Email Addresses and mailboxes
Your address will be in the form of:
myname@thenameofmyemailservice.co.uk
This means there is a mailbox somewhere on the internet with your
name on it, something like having a PO Box
Sending and receiving messages
When someone sends you a message it goes into your mailbox, on a computer which is
permanently connected to the Internet. You can then connect to the internet and use
software to see what is in your mailbox.
If you send a message to someone's mailbox they do the same thing --
they don't get the message until they check in their mailbox. |
