    How Does E-mail Work?

    Electronic mail, commonly called e-mail, is the most


    common application on the internet. E-mail is any
    messages directed from one individual to another and
    sent from one individual to another and sent from one
    computer to another.

    Snail mail

    postman to manually deliver messages to your
    doorstep.
    Post man
    Mail server

    In e-mail, the postman is replaced by a computer


    that serves as the mail server. Mail servers may
    contain hundreds of registered e-mail accounts.
    Using Webmail

    Webmail is short for Web-based e-mail system. It was termed “Web-


    based” because it uses the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to fetch
    messages from a mail server. An internet browser is used to display, read,
    send, and manipulate e-mail messages. The most obvious advantages of
    webmail is that it is accessible by just using an Internet browser without
    any e-mail software.

    Web mails can be compared using the following criteria:


    Mail Storage Capacity

    This determines the maximum capacity of the


    webmail account.
    Special Features

    These are enhanced tools or features that


    differentiate one webmail service from another.
    Accessibility

    Some webmails can be accessed using Post Office


    Protocol version 3 (POP3) or Internet Message
    Access Protocol (IMAP) which can be displayed in
    client windows application such as MS Outlook.
    Security

    How does your webmail provider keep your e-mails


    secure?
    Cost

    Some webmails are commercial. Yahoo! Mail and


    Gmail are two of the most commonly used free e-
    mail services. However for a certain annual fee, the
    mail storage capacity can be increased.
    Outlook Express

    Outlook is a basic Internet mail program that is part of Internet


    Explorer and Windows. Outlook Express is a stand-alone Internet mail
    program.
    E-mail etiquette

    E-mail etiquette means “the prescribed ways of


    using e-mail in cyberspace.”

    e-mail but all other internet technologies,
    applications, and resources.
