An email address consists of two parts - username @ hostname e.g. amit@gmail.com. E-mail systems are based on a store-and- forward model in which e-mail computer server systems accept, forward, deliver and store messages on behalf of users, who only need to connect to the e-mail infrastructure, typically an e-mail server, with a network-enabled device for the duration of message submission or retrieval. Originally, e-mail was always transmitted directly from one user& device to another&; nowadays this is rarely the case. 

An electronic mail message consists of two components, the message header, and the message body, which is the email content. The message header contains control information, including, minimally, an originator& email address and one or more recipient addresses. Usually additional information is added, such as a subject header field. Originally a text-only communications medium, email was extended to carry multi-media content attachments.
