Move down to free email links
Many internet service providers and websites provide free email. You choose your email name and password and they provide the post office services. For example in Bruno@Reset00.com, I would call "Bruno" the email name (or login name) and Reset00.com is the post office. The @ symbol is read "at" so this means "Bruno at (the post office) Reset00.com". Read Bruno at Reset00.com. Of course the Reset00.com post office may have several customers who will each have their own individual name and password. For example: administration@Reset00.com or webmaster@Reset00.com could be valid email addresses in the same post office.
Most of these free email accounts, if not all of them, are webmail services as opposed to pop email or imap. I don't know anything about imap mail services but I know a little about webmail and pop email services and addresses.
Webmail is just that. It is mail that can be accessed by means of a web browser (the program that you are reading this with) from anywhere in the world. The way to access the mail is to go to the URL (means webpage) that allows you to log on with your name and password . You do this by typing the web address for your post office in the URL box in the browser and pressing enter. (The URL box is the one that starts with " http:// " and depending on your webmail provider what you type in might look like http://mail.yahoo.com Once the web page comes, you enter your email name and password on the page...
Pop email services are similar to webmail services in that the username
and post office name will look much the same. The difference though
is that pop email is accessed with an email program such as Arachne's Insight
Email, Eudora, Netscape Messenger and the like. No need for a web
browser to be opened to get the email. One of the disadvantages of
some of the pop email accounts is that they cannot always be accessed for
free from anywhere in the world. They might require a long distance
call to the server (post office). On the other hand they do have
a distinct advantage. They can easily be set up to open from a web
page once you click on an email link. The email client opens up with
a blank letter writting page already addressed to the destination that
you want to send the email to...
To find a current working free email address, leave a message on the following
