An Email is short for ‘electronic mail‘. Similar to a letter, it is sent via the internet to a recipient.
An email address is required to receive email, and that address is unique to the user. Some people
use internet-based applications and some use programs on their computer to access and
store emails.
NB: Cc means carbon copy and Bcc means blind carbon copy. For emailing, you use Cc when
you want to copy others publicly, and Bcc when you want to do it privately. Any recipients on
the Bcc line of an email are not visible to others on the email.
