Webmail

A service provided by several different companies and ISPs that enables someone to access their e-mail over an Internet page instead of through an e-mail client like Microsoft Outlook. Webmail is a great solution for users who use multiple computers or are frequently away from their computer. For example, a home user who has access to webmail could read and send e-mail messages from home, work, or anywhere else that has access to the Internet. 

Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo! mail are some examples of popular, free webmail services for users who are interested in creating their own webmail account. If you already have your own e-mail account setup through your ISP and do not wish to change your e-mail address, check with them to see if they offer any type of webmail solution.
