Re: [iPad] How email has changed with smart devices

 

Yes, this discussion has got complicated as some responders are mis using terminolgy

ISP mail is provided and hosted by the ISP
If you use a client such as Outlook, Apple Mail, Eudora, Thunderbird, you are transferring the emails to your computer FROM the ISP server. (You can opt to also keep them at the ISP server if you wish)

WEBMAIL is also provided by most ISP's, in this case you dont transfer the emails to your computer, you READ them at the ISP server via a webpage, hence webmail

Some folks are confusing web based with internet based. One can access information through an Internet Service Provider ( which you pay for an account), it can be e mail through an e mail client software program or the world wide web through a browser software program. In addition one can also access ones e mail through a browser, this is generally called webmail. All of this is part of the internet.
