An e-mail address contains an identifier, i.e. the user name. After that comes the symbol @ (pronounced at), followed by the domain name, which identifies the server that is used to send your mail, the category of organization and the country code. The different elements of the domain name are separated by dots. There is no full stop at the end.
Example: [email protected]
| chef | @ | coral | .com | .cy |
| identifier | at symbol | name of organization | type of organization | country |
This e-mail address is said in the following way: chef, at coral, dot com, dot Cy.
