What is Electronic
Mail?
Electronic mail works on the client/server principle.
A client program enables the user to interact with a server in order to
access information and services on the server computer.
To read and send mail, users need to access the computer
where their mail resides (the server).
The client application is the interface which lets a user
read, reply to, forward, compose and send new messages.
Some examples of e-mail client programs are Qualcomm Eudora,
pine, elm and Lotus cc:Mail.
