Anatomy of an Email Address
If you don't know the difference between your screen name and e-mail address or domain, please take a moment
to identify the parts of your e-mail address so that the following instructions will make more sense.
Your e-mail address resembles the following: johndoe@closecall.com
Every e-mail address contains:
- 'screenname' (also called a user id or username) which in this case is johndoe
- '@'
- 'domain.com' which in this case is closecall.com
