We start our discussion with personal email since nearly ALL of us who use email started with a personal account at some point. This is the email address we use outside of business for personal reasons even though there are some who DO use their personal email for business.
Usually this personal email is a free service typically offered by the AOL Mail, Gmail, Hotmail.com, Yahoo!, MSN and others like these. These free email services use what is called webmail, web-based or browser based email to excess the typical email features. Because this email is browser based it can be managed from any device that has Internet access. Also the email address is based on that service. For instance it could be:
- myemail@aol.com
- myemail@gmail.com
- myemail@hotmail.com
- myemail@yahoo.com
- etc…
