email email is short for 'electronic mail'. Similar to a letter, it is sent via the internet to a
recipient. An email address is required to receive email,
and that address is unique to the user. Some people use internet-based applications
(webmail) e.g. gmail Some use computer programs to access and
store emails (email clients) e.g. outlook Modern webmail systems work as clients, but
not storing on a local PC.
email Many people have multiple email accounts with
online providers e.g.– gmail,– Outlook.com (hotmail)– Yahoo
An email client can sync all your messaging inone place, but so can webmail systems (gmail)

email - Backup With an email client on a PC all emails are saved
locally on the PC. Backup can then be done as part of a normal backup
routine. Outlook saves data (emails, contacts, calenders etc)
as a .pst file. Thunderbird saves data (emails, contacts, calenders
etc) as an APPDATA file. With webmail if a local backup is required this has to
be made manually and usually save email filesas .mbox.
