+Email (or simply mail) is a digital equivalent of sending a letter to a person. Just like a letter is written to a person, for a purpose, an email is also sent to another person (or persons, or a group of persons).
-Email requires Internet connectivity, checking web-mail (logging into on-line email) requires continuous connectivity. However, in many situations, we do not have internet connectivity. If we use a ‘email client’  then emails can be ‘downloaded’ to your computer, in which case they can be read and processed even when there is no connectivity. Mozilla Thunderbird is a popular email client. Secondly, if you have more than one email account, you can configure all of them in Thunderbird, so that you can read all your mails in one place. <br>
