Explaining email to mom

Mom STILL doesn’t have her own mail. I guess that explains the following conversation:

[On the phone]
Mom: What’s your email? I want to send you pictures from my boss computer email.
Me: You should really get your own mail. But okay, “v”, “i”, “t”.
Mom: Wait, wait. Capital or small letters?
Me: …….Small. Okay. Going on: “a” “l” “y” “b” at gmail…
Mom: Wait! Do is there a “space” between “y” and “b”?
Me: ………………..No, there isn’t.

I guess I should explain mom all about ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+[-._+&])*[0-9a-zA-Z]+@([-0-9a-zA-Z]+[.])+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$ one day.
