What is it?

Each person has their own email account.  Through this account, they can send messages and files to others with email accounts, and can receive such messages/files from others.  Email also allows people to join newsgroups and listservs (where one email address reaches many people interested in the same topic of discussion).  Through email, one can store incoming messages for any period of time and keep a record of all discussion that has taken place.


Where do I find it?

There are many providers of free email accounts with limited (but generally sufficient) account space for saving messages and in-coming attachments. Popular providers are:
