Email Hacking

When you send an e-mail from your computer, the data is sent from your computer
to an SMTP server. The SMTP server then searches for the correct POP3 server and sends your
e-mail to that server, where it waits until your intended recipient retrieves it

E-mail accounts are available through many different sources. When you get an e-mail account, you will be
given a two part e-mail address, in this form: username@domain.name. The first part,
username identifies you on your network, differentiating you from all the other users on the
network. The second part, domain.name is used to identify your specific network. The
user name must be unique within your network, just as the domain name must be unique
among all the other networks on the Internet
