email account

Online message repository

An email account is a registered identity on an email service that allows sending and receiving electronic messages.

Each account has a unique address and typically requires a password to access.

Most people maintain separate accounts for work and personal use: I'll send it to your work email account.

The term often shortens to just "email" or "account" when context is clear.
