Email Tutorial Overview

Updated On Dec 16, 2022

Email is an abbreviation for electronic mail which has become one of the most popular communication channels for online users and businesses. Email accounts can be created using your own domain name ([email protected]), or through a 3rd party email provider such as Gmail ([email protected]), Yahoo ([email protected]), and others.

When you send an email various events occur in the background such as DNS checks to route your emails to the correct server, and land in the correct inbox. Through this, it doesn't matter if a user is online or not as the message is stored on the users receiving server ready to be read once they are online.

When you have an email account, there are a variety of ways you can connect to your email account to read and send emails. Most notably, a webmail interface typically provided by your email hosting provider, or by using a 3rd party email application software for desktop and/or mobile devices.
