Electronic mail,commonly referred to as email, is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients.

Modern email operates across the Internet or other computer networks.

Some early email systems required that the author and the recipient both be online at the same time.

Today neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously; they need connect only briefly, typically to an email server, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.

Nowadays even children have their email.

Email gives the opportunity to exchange the information in seconds, connecting people in different parts of the world.

Registration on different sites also requires the email address.
