What is web-based E-mail?
Web-based e-mail is accessed through the Internet. You use your browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape) to go to the mail
service's Web site (quickmail.quickhosts.com), where you enter your username and password to open your personal mailbox.
The primary advantage of Web mail lies in the fact that you can use ANY computer with a browser and Internet access to
check your mail, freeing you to check your mail virtually anywhere. On the other hand, e-mail programs that are configured on
your own computer limit your mail accessibility to that computer. The popularity of Web mail has increased dramatically,
accounting now for about 35% of all e-mail boxes worldwide.
