Webmail

Webmail, or e-mail, is a written message sent electronically over a computer network. The term “e-mail” is used to refer to the message itself, as in “They sent me an e-mail”.

This term can be used to refer to a free email service that is directly accessible on the web from a browser, without the need for email software.

“E-mail address” refers to an Internet user’s personal identifier by means of which they can communicate by e-mail (e.g. harrycover@gouv.net).
