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.
