E-mail Addresses

Here is how to interpret the parts of an e-mail address:

sales@taylorapp.com

sales -- The user name of the e-mail account holder is a unique, assigned name that can be a real name, initials, a nickname, or a descriptive word such as "sales, info, billing, etc."

@ -- The axon sign is required in all Internet e-mail addresses. It allows the e-mail software to distinguish between the user name and the domain name.

taylorapp.com -- The domain name identifies the company or organization of the account holder.

Note: Many companies have systems that let users access their e-mail boxes remotely. Access is implemented either with gateways from the Internet, which require passwords. This is called "Web Mail".
