UK Guide to Email and Email Providers

Email is a way of sending other people messages from your computer via the Internet. Email is the most widely used facility on the Internet that basically sends addressed messages over a Network. The email message normally gets there in a couple of minutes. Internet users refer to the conventional Mail system as "Snail Mail".
