E-MAIL

An Electronic mail or e-mail can be defined as the process of exchanging messages electronically
through a communication network by using computer. Although an e-mail is usually associated with
the Internet, it is not necessary to have an Internet connection to send and receive e-mails. Many
organisations have e-mail facilities within their own networks, without having an Internet connection.

Common E-Mail Platforms

There are many popular services where you can create and use e-mail accounts easily:
Gmail by Google: One of the most widely used e-mail services, known for its user-friendly design
and powerful features like spam filtering and integration with other Google apps.

Yahoo Mail: A long-standing e-mail service that offers plenty of storage and easy-to-use features for
sending and receiving e-mails.
