An identifieridentifieridentifier is a unique name of a user on a given server, for example the address „john.green@example.com” is assigned to the user account „john.green” created on the server “example.com”.
Remember that your email addressemail addressemail address is your showcase. When you create an email accountemail accountemail account, choose an identifieridentifieridentifier which is not depreciative and is easy to remember. This may be difficult on popular platforms as all identifiers within one server must be unique. Therefore it often happens that the identifier which you want to choose is already used by somebody else. Then you can for example add any number to it. The name cannot include Polish diacritics (ą, ś, ć, ł ó ź, ż ń) and space. The administrator of the mail servermail servermail server decides if character other than letters can be included in the identifier, for example numerical digits, the dot or the underscore.
When you use a free email accountemail accountemail account, you must be aware that you agree that advertisements will be sent to your email box. In some cases the advertisement may be attached by the server operator to every email which you will send. Therefore try to avoid such operators. When you use a commercial account (for which you must pay), you will not have to bother about advertisements and moreover you will be offered preferences in the selection of the identifieridentifieridentifier and better technical parameters of your account, i.e. greater capacity, anti‑spam protection (against unwanted mail) and anti‑virus protection.
