Use of @ symbol in Email ID

An email ID has three components – the user's name, the @ symbol, and the domain address of the email client. Whether you create an email ID on Gmail, Yahoo or any email service provider, you cannot put the @ symbol in the user name while creating the email ID.

In each email address, the user's name appears to the left of the @ and the email client's name appears to the right.

In the above picture, gmail.com is written on the right side of @, which means that this email ID is created on Gmail.
