Introduction
E-Mail allows you to send and receive messages around the world. It is fast, taking between 5 and 15 minutes for your message to reach Australia - handy for keeping in touch with friends and relations.
There are plenty of free e-mail providers out there, but the most people tend to use Microsoft's "hotmail" system. The address you get is yours to keep and administer. In fact; you can access it from anywhere in the world - so long as you can get onto the Internet.
