  6. What is email? • Email (or e-mail) is electronic mail that "works" quite like conventional correspondence. • There is a sender and a recipient and the contents are called the message of the email.

  7. In addition to textual content, email allows you to send photographs, video or sound clips in digital form or files.

  8. What is an email address? • When you create an email account, you get an email address to which people "write" to you. • Each email address is unique which means no two people in the world can have the same email address.

  9. Just like your postal address, which is one of its kind, your email address belongs only to you - unless of course you share it with people.

  10. Email and security • Typically, you access your email account with a username (also called a login name) and a password. 

  11. These are your login details • In order to keep your email communication secure from others, you have to make sure that your login details and known only to you and the password is complex enough to make it difficult for people to guess it.

  12. Having a good strong convoluted password is the first step in making your account secure. • The password to your email account is akin to the key to the door of your postal address (your house?).
