DefinitionEmail (電子メール) is an asynchronous way of communicating in which you send text or files to someone's email address and the recipient reads it later.
ExplanationDocuments and data can be sent along with the message as attachments. When one message goes to several people, you choose among TO for the main recipients, CC for those receiving a copy, and BCC for those whose addresses are hidden from the other recipients.
AnalogyLike dropping a letter in someone's mailbox. They open and read it when they get home.
Memory hookThe E in e-mail stands for electronic, so the name means postal mail made electronic.
