How to create E-mail?
What is E-mail Client?
Why use e-mail client? 

What is E-mail & what is use of E-mail :-  E-mail stands for Electronic mail. E-mail is way of  exchanging digital message from one person to one or more recipients. We can send personal message with any attachment (Any document/picture) to one or more recipients in a moment with e-mail. Each Organization have their own e-mail server for their own network so their employees can exchange files and necessary data with each other in their network only.
There are many free & paid e-mail provider in Internet as well.
In companies System Administrator use Exchange Server for creating e-mail server in windows  while in Linux they useSquirrelmail/Iredmail in their own network while we can make them online as well.

Free E-mail Provider :
1.Google                                 Gmail.com
2.Yahoo                                  Yahoo.com
3.Microsoft                              Live.com 
4. mail.com                             Mail.com
5. Indian mail                          Mail.india.com
6. Aol                                       Aol.com
7. Inbox                                  Inbox.com
8.Rediffmail                            Rediffmail.com

We can use any one of above link of e-mail provider to create e-mail. I always prefer Google mail (Gmail). We just need to click on any one of above provider and need to click on create an account / create free account / Signup to create free e-mail.

What is E-mail Client:

We already read above that what is e-mail/e-mail use/e-mail provider now we need to know what is e-mail server and what is email client.

if we read the above first paragraph carefully then we all know what is e-mail server. " E-mail server means from where we are accessing our e-mail and where all database is stored or A particular system/computer which stores all database related to e-mail and provide e-mail access to other computer is known as e-mail Server".

If we are accessing e-mail through Web Browser(Internet Explorer/ Google chrome / Firefox )  then it's called webmail.

If we use any software or program which stores all e-mail and provide access to e-mail and we can send and recieve e-mail with that program that is knows as E-mail client.

Why Use E-mail client:
There are various reason for using e-mail client. Some reason of using e-mail clients are given below.

1.  We can store all our e-mail offline with the help of e-mail client so that if ever our Internet connection is not working still we will be able to see previous e-mails.
2.  As we all have many e-mail provider's e-mail so we need to go to diffrent-2 websites to access our e-mail while we can configure diffrent-2 providers e-mail in one e-mail client and can access all e-mails in a single place.
3.  It can be that your e-mail provider website can be down any time then you will be able to see your e-mails in e-mail clients.
4.  We can make a back up of all our e-mails.

Popular free E-mail Clients are:

1. Mozilla Thunderbird               mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
2. Windows Live mail                 Live mail Download
3. Opera                                     Opera.com/computer/mail
4. Incredimail                             incredimail.com/english/download/                        
5. Foxmail                                   foxmail.com.cn/win/en/

While Microsoft Outlook is paid e-mail client . We can purchase it from Microsoft.

Mozilla Thunderbird is very easy and Open source e-mail client . We can download it from above link. It is very easy to configure your e-mail in Thunderbird. We just need to type our name , e-mail address and password then click on next it takes all settings automatically.

There are three protocols which are used to configure e-mail clients.

1. POP ( Post Office Protocol)
2. IMAP ( Internet Message access protocol)
3. SMTP ( Simple mail transfer protocol)

"POP/IMAP is used to recieve e-mails  while SMTP is used to send e-mails".
                                       POP

POP :  This is a protocol which is used to retrieve message from e-mail servers. "POP is  one way communication" it means that POP can download message from server to your e-mail clients but if you delete any e-mails from your e-mail client it will not affect the server.

POP deletes  all e-mails after downloading them in e-mail clients while there is one option in e-mail clients setting that if you want you can leave a copy of message on server.

POP Disadvantage
If you will create any folder or will delete any e-mail it will not replicate on other devices in which you are using same e-mail in e-mail clients.

                                                          IMAP
IMAP is also used to receive e-mail from e-mail server . IMAP is two way communication. It means if we will delete or add any thing  it will replicate in all devices.
