Answer 2

Hotmail is a web-based email service. It provides a way to access your email via the internet, and you can send / receive emails from the internet as well. This implies that you need a web browser to access it, such as Firefox, Opera or Internet Explorer. The disadvantage here is that you have to be online to read / write emails.

Hotmail provides you with email service as well. You can have mynewemail@hotmail.com and receive emails at that address. You are also given a certain amount of space - approximately 2GB of space to store your emails online. All of this is free.

Outlook Express is an "email client." It does not provide you with an email service. For example, you cannot have mynewemail@outlookexpress.com. It is a software program that enables you read or write emails from an email service provider that you already have (such as hotmail, gmail, Yahoo, etc.).

The advantage of using an email client such as Outlook Express is that it downloads your emails directly onto your PC. That way you can read / write (but not send or receive) emails when you are offline (not connected to the internet).

There are other email clients, such as: * Outlook (not Express - more complete professional version) * Mozilla Thunderbird * Evolution (for Linux) * Eudora
