| Email comes in many flavors. If you use AOL, you get your
mail through your AOL interface. If you connect to the Net with an
independent ISP,
though, you can pick your own email client
(the software you use to send, receive, and manage your mail). Many
free
and commercial
clients are available, and some browsers come with built-in mail
clients. |
