electronic mail
This term is the formal, full-length designation for the digital exchange of messages. In almost all contemporary spoken and written contexts, it is replaced by the clipped form "email," which has become the standard lexeme across all registers.
As a mass noun, it refers to the system or the collective body of messages. When referring to a single message, users typically employ the count noun "email" or the phrase "an electronic mail message" to avoid grammatical awkwardness, as "electronic mail" itself resists pluralization in standard usage.
