Definitions

| Noun | A store and forward method of composing, sending, storing, and receiving messages over electronic communication systems. The term 'email' (as a noun or verb) applies both to the Internet email system based on the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) and to X.400 systems, and to intranet systems allowing users within one organization to email each other. Often these workgroup collaboration organizations may use the Internet protocols or X.400 protocols for internal email service. Email is often used to deliver bulk unsolicited messages, or 'spam', but filter programs exist which can automatically delete some or most of these, depending on the situation.

| Noun | The transmission of memos and messages over a network. Within an enterprise, users can send e-mail to a single recipient or broadcast it to multiple users. With multi-tasking workstations, e-mail can be delivered and announced while the user is working in an application. Otherwise, e-mail is sent to a simulated mailbox in the network server or host computer, which must be interrogated. (used 0 times in citations and controls) |

| Noun | Electronic mail is the exchange of computer produced and stored messages. E-mail messages can be encoded in either ASCII or Unicode text formats, and can also attach any other document or application to the message as a sub-part of it. An individual using a terminal, PC or an application can access a network to send an unstructured message to another individual or group of people. An e-mail system requires a messaging system, which provides the store and forward capability, and a mail program that provides the user interface with send and receive functions. The Internet revolutionized e-mail by turning countless incompatible islands into one global system. The Internet initially served its own members, of course, but then began to act as a mail gateway between the major online services. It then became the messaging system for the planet.
