What is Email?

Electronic mail, often abbreviated to e-mail, email, or simply mail, is a store-and-forward method of writing, sending, receiving and saving messages over electronic communication systems. The term "email" (as a noun or verb) applies to the Internet email system based on the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, to network systems based on other protocols and to various mainframe, minicomputer or intranet systems allowing users within one organization to send messages to each other in support of workgroup collaboration. Intranet systems may be based on proprietary protocols supported by a particular systems vendor, or on the same protocols used on public networks. Email is often used to deliver bulk unsolicited messages, or "spam", but filter programs exist which can automatically block, quarantine or delete some or most of these, depending on the situation.

I check my email every single day.

Email - what is it?

A common tool used by Nigerians to acquire the bank account numbers of gullible Americans and Europeans.

The Crown Prince of Nigeria wants to pay me millions of dollars to help free his people. He even sent me an email about it so it must be true!

What does "Email" mean?

Something faster than paper mail and slower than IM. Has a 56% chance of making you cry inside.

"What's that, email? You want to help me enlarge my penis? But... I'm female..." (Sobbing ensues.)

Email - what does it mean?

something that can be trusted to email as the fastest and the least formal means of communication.

Is this application emailable or do I have to use a snail mail?

"Emailable" is an antonym of "confidential." Never trust your secrets to email.

It's a rough unchecked draft, not for print, but quite emailable.

Email - meaning

A link that almost nobody uses, found underneath every definition in Urban Dictionary. To the left of the "email it" button is the date (month,dd,yyyy) that this particular word was added.

When "email it" is clicked, a javascript interface will pop open below the text you plan to email. This blue box contains permalink information, an "add to del.icio.us" link, and the usual "email-to friend" fields. In the latter, you need to type both yours and your friend's email address.

You also have the option of signing up to their "Word of the Day" feature while you're at it, and they assure you that they won't give out your address. Over all, it's a good system and if you ever come across a funny word (i.e. fart), you can easily share the laugh with your mates.

Email

Once an efficient and fast method of communication and message transferring, now a way of harassing Internet users with spam, credit card/insurance offers, porn links, and "Increase Your Penis Size By 5 Inches" advertizements.

Despite using a junk email filtering program, it is still a chore to delete 30+ messages a day.

Email

Email is another way of communicating in the Internet. It stands for electronic mail, and that's correct, it's like mail, but in the computer! Sometimes you get spam, in forums you get updates from them. You can write messages to each other in email.

Email is kinda like forums, except there is nobody to use the ban hammer on you or your friend, but you have to wait and there's nobody stopping you from posting porn, sending viruses, and posting spam.

Email is usually the best way of contacting somebody, since you do not pay to send an email or get an email, except for electricity bills.
