Most providers allow you to create an e-mail alias. This is a meaningful name that you can use as your address for people to send you e-mail. As you can see, there are 3 components to an e-mail address. Subscribing to Newsletters One of the most interesting things that you can get on the Internet are newsletters. These are written by people who have an interest in a particular subject and are prepared to send out e-mail to anyone who subscribes to their services.
Some newsletters are free while others require payment.
You may come across newsletters whilst browsing the Web, and most require you to subscribe in a certain way. This usually involves sending an e-mail with particular text in the message area. Be sure to type the text in exactly as it is meant to be. This is because the sender uses special programs that examine e-mails and if certain text is present, they act upon it. This is usually to subscribe or to subsequently unsubscribe to a newsletter.
