E-Mail Addressing Pattern and E-Mail Messages

Internet e-mail addresses typically have two main parts:
ibcocppd@satyammail.com
First there is the user name (ibcocppd) which refers to the recipients mailbox. Then
there’s an axon sign (@). Next comes the host name (satyammail), also called the domain name.
This refers to the mail server, the computer where the recipient ha an electronic mailbox. It’s
usually the name of a company or organization.
The end of the domain name consists of a dot (“.”) followed by two or three letters (such
as .com and .gov) that indicate the top-level domain. This part of the domain name indicates the
type of organization or the country where the host server is located.

E-Mail Messages

E-mail messages are similar to letters, with two main parts.  The header contains the name and address of the recipient, the name and address of anyone who is being copied, and the subject of the message. Some e-mail programs also display your name and address and the date of the message.
The body contains the message itself. Just like when sending letters, we need the correct address. If we use the wrong address or mistype it, our messages will bounce back with messages like – Return to Sender, Address Unknown routine.
When we receive an e-mail, the header tells us where it came from, how it was sent, and when. It’s like an electronic postmark.
Unlike a letter, which is sealed in an envelope, e-mail is not as private. It’s more like a post card. Messages can be intercepted and read by people who really shouldn’t be looking at it. We should therefore avoid including any confidential information unless we have a way to encrypt it.

Usage of Mails
  • Incoming mails can be checked on a daily basis at least 3 times a day.
  • We can use the e-mail facility judiciously and extensively for communicating with Circle Office / Head Office/ Service Branch / Customers.
  • Communicate e-mail id to all domestic and overseas customers and use the facility for

  • Encourage customers to contact branch through e-mail for information regarding their urgent banking requirements. 
  • Use the facility as a marketing tool to attract new customers, exchange greetings with existing customers and also inform them about recent happenings in the locality.
