   Most of the websites display advertisements during the usage which are called spam mails. There are
                 many spams that are sent to the e-mail accounts. It results in the increased size of the mail box, which
                 brings a significant decrease in the speed of usage and consumes extra time of a user who has to navigate
                 through all the mails to search for the required one.
                 A slight error in the address of the recipient may result in the non-delivery of the message or delivery to
                 some other recipient.
                 Since e-mail passes through various networks, sometimes it may be intercepted in between. A failure or
                 fault in one of the links (of network) between the sender and receiver prevents delivery of the e-mail,
                 though the sender assumes that e-mail has been delivered.
