I presume that you have already known about the word email. Email, e-mail, electronic mail is defined as the transmission of messages over the electronic networks like internet.

This definition explains that email is an electronic message which can be transferred via internet. So, basically, you write a letter in the computer then send it via internet.

The traditional postal mail uses pen to write letter on a paper. In the other side, you will need a computer keyboard to write email in writing software such as Microsoft word, text editor and so forth.

Once, you have finished write your letter, then you need to go to the post office and get your mail stamped. You also need to put your recipient address correctly.

In contrast, email allows more flexibility; you do not need to go to the special place such as post office to send your mail. You can send your email directly from your computer via internet.

First you need to the email provider which is known as the “post office” in the real world and send your letter. All you need is the internet connection which will enable you to connect to the email provider.

The great thing about email is the service held by the email provider. They usually give a free service which is called free web-based email. This is great because you can store all of your email in their server.

This way, you do not need to spend any space in your computer hard disk to save these emails. You got your personal inbox.

From email you can write your letter more comfortable as you do not need to go somewhere else. You just need to sit at home and write your letter at your computer. The speed was great thing too.

You can also send your files to others by attach the files on to your email. The last thing is cost. Email will cost you cheaper compare to conventional letter writing.
