E-mail allows users to send electronic messages from one computer to one or more recipients via a network. It provides benefits like sending messages anywhere instantly, sharing messages with multiple people simultaneously, and easily distributing information globally. An e-mail address identifies the destination of a message and includes a username and domain name separated by "@", such as username@gmail.com. Common e-mail providers include Gmail, Yahoo, Rediff Mail, Outlook, and iCloud Mail. To create an e-mail id, open a browser, go to the provider's website like Google, click sign up, and fill in the requested information to generate a new account.
