What are 2 kinds of e-mail? 
POP
& Virtual
(virtual also called web based)
POP Mail:
Post Office Protocol, mail that comes to 1 computer.
You probably click a little envelope or a mail button on the screen to access it.
Think of that computer as a Post Office, and you must go to it to receive the
mail.
Virtual Mail:
mail that can be read from any computer, because you go to a web site to access it.
Yahoo Mail is an example. |

information over the internet and e-mail.
Never, never give personal information like your last name, address, or birthday.
Be safe. Be smart. Don't be a Betty Blabbermouth! |

If only she would check for spelling errors before sending her messages.
