E - mail enables you to send and receive messages to each other electronically. E - mail is not sent 'directly' to your PC , unless you've got a permanent internet connection.It is held on a service providers email server, until a customer(you) downloads it to their PC so it can be read.
If you want to send email, you need to know the other persons email address - something like '[email protected]' . You'll also need an email program, such as Eudora Light, or the email programs built into the Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer web browsers.The best is to ask your service provider for help with the configuration of your email program.
