Overview

Webmail is essentially using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox,

to access your Email account. The advantages of such a system are that you
don't need your own computer or a regular Email client such as Outlook
Express or Thunderbird to check your mail. If you have access to a computer
connected to the Internet, you have access to your Email.

Why use WebMail?

 It is user friendly and easy to use.
 Anyone with the Internet access can login with valid username from
anywhere in the world.
 It is cross platform, you can use it with Windows, Unix/Linux or Mac.
