3. 2 The email message Instead of using a pen to write a letter on paper, you use the keyboard to type an email message in an email program on your computer. Sending the email When the email is finished and has been addressed to the recipient's email address, you don't put a stamp on it and post it: you press the Send button in the email program. Email transport Like postal services, email servers transmit email messages from sender to recipient. Getting new mail If you've got new mail in your mailbox, you go and collect it. Similarly, your email program can check for new email messages at your mail server and download them for you to read.
