Webmail is a really handy alternative to PC and smart phone e-mail apps if you do not have access to your laptop or computer and also you do not have a smart phone. You will be able to gain access to your emails through virtually any browser, so that you can stay in touch with people when you travel and you visit an Internet cafe, for example. Webmail applications are rather advanced, so you will not only be capable to send and receive emails, but you'll also be able to make use of an address book, set up a personalized signature or even set up new folders, that can afterwards come in your PC email application. It is important to know that the e-mail messages displayed in the webmail are those on the server, so if you set up an email in a desktop program while using POP protocol, the messages will be saved on your hard drive and they won't be available in the webmail. The solution in this case is to use the IMAP protocol whenever you set up your e-mails inside a computer application.
