How to Retrieve Email

Keeping in touch with friends and family is easy thanks to webmail accounts, which allow you to send and receive emails from any computer in any part of the world. Even if your lifestyle or profession requires you to consistently move from place to place, staying connected with others is easy, as long as you have access to an Internet-enabled computer. If you got your email account through an email program such as Outlook, you will only be able to retrieve an email from the computer where the program is installed. However, if you have a webmail email account, all you need to retrieve an email is an Internet connection and a Web browser.
