Webmail is an online email service that allows you to access your messages from anywhere in the world. Several popular Internet companies, including Yahoo!, Google (Gmail), AOL and Microsoft (Hotmail), each offer this type of free email service to consumers. Once you've registered a webmail account, you'll want to configure it to ensure that all of your messages are properly received. Since webmail utilizes post office protocol, or POP, other client accounts may filter into this single one for convenience.
