Kannst du mir bitte deine neue Mailadresse schicken?
Could you please send me your new email address?
'Mailadresse' (email address) is a compound word made up of 'Mail' (email) and 'Adresse' (address). Here, 'Mail' is a common shortened form of 'E-Mail' (email).
Meine Mailadresse ist sehr einfach und leicht zu merken.
My email address is very simple and easy to remember.
In everyday language, 'Mailadresse' (email address) is often used with verbs such as 'geben' (to give), 'bekommen' (to get), 'schicken' (to send), 'haben' (to have), or 'brauchen' (to need).
Gib mir bitte deine Mailadresse, dann schicke ich dir die Fotos.
Please give me your email address, then I'll send you the photos.
If you want to say where you are sending an email, you use the preposition 'an' (to) with the accusative.
Ich habe die Einladung an die falsche Mailadresse geschickt.
I sent the invitation to the wrong email address.
'die Mail' and 'die Mailadresse' both belong to electronic communication, but they do not mean the same thing. 'Die Mail' is the message itself, meaning the text that you send or receive. 'Die Mailadresse' is the address of the electronic mailbox to which you send an email. Learners may confuse the words because both have to do with email. Remember: you write or read a 'Mail', but you give someone your 'Mailadresse'.
