Web-Based E-mail

 

Not everyone gets their email through their ISP. The alternative is to use one of the free e-mail services on the web. Hotmail and Yahoo! are two of the more popular places to get a free e-mail account.

 

I Thought Yahoo! Was a Search Engine

That s right, Yahoo! is a search engine & and a whole lot more. It's also a place to get news, information, yellow and white pages, and free e-mail.

 

The main benefit of web-based mail is that you can check your mail from anywhere in the world with any computer that has internet access. Even if you don't own a computer, you can still have an email address. In fact, some people access the internet through their public library. One benefit of using a web-based email is that you can have a permanent address. Even if you change your ISP you can still maintain a permanent address on one of the web sites.
