Similarities of e-mail and real mail service

Email is basically a different form of the same means of delivering a message to someone else. The methods are in fact nearly identical.

The process for real life mail is as follows:

The mail is put into the mailbox where the local mailman picks it up and brings it to the local post office. This is where it is sorted and eventually sent off to the general area of the recipient marked by the address. Here, it is once again sorted and eventually delivered to the address destination.

In the same way the process for emails is as follows:

The Email is written in your personal inbox (mailbox) and when it is sent, it is sent to various servers (sorting) and eventually reaches it's destination marked by the email address (physical address).

So in conclusion, just like how mail delivery doesn't just deliver straight from the origin to the destination, an email works the same way.
