One of th most important and essential uses we all have for the internet is e-mail. But not all of us have our own e-mail accounts. If your internet service provider only gives you one e-mail account but there are more of you in the household than that this can be a particular disturbing problem. We all want our privacy (without encryption) yet if all the mail is going to one place there is know way to stop the wrong person from reading it. Or if you're a person always on the go, never at home long enough to get on with your ISP to check you mail. Or maybe you change ISP too frequent'y and people can never keep up with your current e-mail address. Well if you have any of these problems, this set of links is just for you. Web based e-mail will allow you to log on from anywhere that has access to the world wide web, and check or compose e-mail. And you don't need any special software, just any ole web browser will do. All your mail will go to that site and wait for you to go on line from anywhere, whether it be at home or on the road, and do what you need to do. The e-mail forwarding sites don't nessearily keep you mail on a web server but rather take all the incoming mail and redirect it to any e-mail account you choose. So if you really want to get sneaky you could redirect your email from a forwarding service to a web based service.
