Email - Web Based / Server Based

There are two basic types of email. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages.

The most common type of email is web based. You find this kind of email from Yahoo, Hotmail, Hushmail, and many others. The big advantage of web based email is that you can access it from any computer that has internet connection. The downside is that you will have to put up with advertisements along with your email.

POP email, is more secure. You can only get this type of email from one computer with the setting to download email from a specific email server (post office). This is the type of email system used by most business.

I have a free web based email account for when I am on the road. I also have a POP based email for I am in the office or on the road.
