explain the two types of email sevices
Answers
Client-based Email
Client-Based Email means you need a program on your computer and configures properly in order to read the email. Examples of email clients are Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Pegasus Mail, etc.
No matter which client program you use, some basic information you need to gather before you can configure your email program. You can get the information needed from the ISP (Internet Service Provider)
Username - this is usually just the first part of your email address, but not always. Sometimes you have a different one and sometimes it is your entire email address. It depends on your ISP.
If you configures the client program properly, once click you can access the inbox rather than you needs to key in the username and password required by the web-based email service.
One of the major disadvantages of this kind of email service is that you may not be able to access the email once you are traveling outside your own country. This is because different countries have their own Internet Service Provider.
2) Web-based Email
To utilize the web-based email services, first you need to register to get a free account.
The advantage of web-based email services is that you can check your mail from any computer that is connected to the internet. It can be your own laptop, or your office computer, on-site or off-site. All of your email files are stored on the web-based server.
Because of this, the web-based email services are very popular and widely used especially for those that are always traveling. Most experience users have multiple accounts that used for different purposes.
For younger generations, they use the web-based email services not only for normal emailing but also for instant messaging that often not available through client-based email services.
