Electronic mail allows you to communicate with others over a network.

There are many whois directories or white pages for finding a person%26#039;s e-mail address. Your Internet Service Provider often will have a directory of the people with accounts on their system. Generally you can search for a person by typing in their name. Other systems provide a directory that is more globally oriented. There is no one directory listing of all the people on the Internet.

Domain Name

Many different types of e-mail programs allow you to communicate over the Internet. The basic information you must know is the address of the person for correspondence and a few commands. Internet addresses are expressed in terms of the userid (user identification) at the place where the person has an account called the domain or host. Here is an example of an e-mail address:

userid@domain (also called host)

com = commercial

edu = education
