What is an email Client?

Client means any email program you use on your computer.  A client talks to an email server.  The details on how to do this are communicated to the client by your "connections." 

Popular Microsoft email clients include Outlook, Outlook Express, Microsoft Mail (The replacement to Outlook Express), and Thunderbird. 


The alternative is a browser email interface.  Examples are the att.yahoo.com and the aol email interfaces, where you have to bring up a browser and go “on-line” to look at the mail.
