The part of your email address after the @ sign is your mail domain – essentially the group of computers you’re part of. The sender’s email server sends a message to the Domain Name Service (DNS) on the internet to find out which server at that domain is handling emails. The message itself is then sent to this server, where it is stored for you. When you click ‘Get Mail’, your email programme looks for messages held on the server that are addressed to you and downloads them. In many cases these days, you’re email system will automatically check that mail server for new emails every now and then, so you don’t have to click on anything
