Internet Mail is the type of email you get when you register for
email on companies such as Hotmail and Yahoo.
You access your mailbox using a web browser, and your email is
stored on their server.
Below are some advantages and disadvantages to using this type
of email...
| Advantages |
|
If you don't have your own PC, then this makes
email possible for you.
You can read and send email from your mailbox from any computer
in the world.
Easy to change your email address if you need to, just register
for another account. |

|
| Disadvantages |
|
Email is stored on a server ...somewhere.
You have to be online to be able to read and send email.
Because your mailbox is stored on the internet, you rely
on the account provider to maintain security. Nothing is 100%
secure!
You are more bombarded with advertising (spam)!
Not all internet mail services allow, or support attachments. |
If you are lucky, some ISPs allow both services, allowing you to
look at your incoming mail using your browser, then using POP to
download it onto your own computer.
