The string of letters and or numbers that allow anyone to send you e-mail is called your e-mail address. No two are identical. A typical e-mail address is something like <mybiz@webserver.com> or <johnsmith@webserver.com>. If you have your own domain name such as <mybiz.com> then your e-mail address would be something like <ceo@mybiz.com>. In fact with a domain name you can usually get e-mail under any prefix. An example would be <info@mybiz.com> or <janesmith@mybiz.com>.

It should be read as "jsmith at example dot com". The part before the @ sign is the local-part of the address, often the username of the recipient, and the part after the @ sign is a domain name which can be looked up in the Domain Name System to find the mail exchange servers accepting e-mail for that address.
