Heading graphic: What is e-mail?

How long does it take an e-mail to be delivered?

E-mail delivery times are generally measured in seconds. It may only take 5 seconds or so for your e-mail message to leave your computer and be delivered to the recipients e-mail provider.

If the recipient is online at the time, they will receive the e-mail immediately, however if they are not online, it will remain in the recipients inbox until the next time they check their mail.
