Electronic mail is used extensively for private communication between students, faculty and staff.
There are four mail programs supported on the CS network. Which one you use depends basically on your personal preference for the interface and features it offers. The CS department is linked into the Internet, a world-wide network connecting major universities, corporations, and other academic and scientific institutions. Again, the choice depends on your preference for the visual and command interface each offers. Instructions for using the newsreaders are included in the Unix documents mentioned above.
