MY PRESARIO—GETTING STARTED WELCOME TO THE WEB 3-5
Understanding E-mail Addresses
Some ISPs allow you to pick an e-mail address, but others require
you to follow a set pattern:
➜ your name
➜ @
➜ ISP server name
ISP names can be longer and more complex, but basically
anything to the right of the @ sign is the ISP server name and
anything to the left is the user name. For example:
E-mail, cont.
To send and receive e-mail,
you need an e-mail address
so that your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) will know
where to pick up and deliver
mail.
