What are the main differences between Web-based email and regular email?
A Web-based email account lets you access your mail from any computer connected to the Web without the worries of using a special email application. With web based email you can access your email when at school, the library, a cafe, a hotel, the shopping mall, the airport or wherever a web connected computer is. In addition you don’t have to worry about leaving your email behind. Web based email does not download to a local computer like most email applications. Check your email from work, home or even abroad while travelling. Unlike “regular” or “POP” email, which requires specific mail preferences to be entered into the email software, Web-based email only requires a Web connection. With SearchBC.Com FreeMail your email is protected by a password, and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) which encrypts all data sent from or coming to your Web-based email account.
