Email is the most widely used service on the Internet.
The details of how you use email will vary depending on who provides your email account and which software package you use to access your account. However, there are some general concepts you should understand in order to work with any email setup. It is also possible to access email through a free web-based email provider such as Hotmail , or Yahoo Mail , to name just a couple. The client software application you use to access your email account may be one built into your browser, such as Netscape Messenger or Microsoft Internet Explorer Outlook Express, or you may use a separate commercial package such as Eudora. If you are using a web-based email provider the client is built into the provider s site.
