a unique identifier consisting of a user's username and the domain name of the email service provider, allowing users to send and receive electronic messages over the Internet

An email address is a unique identifier used to send and receive messages over the internet. It consists of two main parts: the local part, which identifies the individual or organization, and the domain, which specifies the mail server where the email is hosted. The two parts are separated by the "@" symbol. For example, in the address "example@server.com," "example" is the local part, and "server.com" is the domain. An email address allows messages to be directed to the correct recipient.
