HubSpot contributor has published an article featuring 13 Best Free (& Private) Email Accounts & Service Providers for 2024

He says, “There are two main types of email service providers to choose from for personal emails: email clients and webmail.

Most options offer both alternatives to best match the end-user’s needs, but it’s still important to understand the different terms.

What are email clients?

Email clients are software applications you install onto your computer to manage the email you send and receive. To access this email, the client interacts with a remote email server.

Examples of email clients include Mozilla Thunderbird and Apple Mail.

What is a webmail?

Webmail is an email you access only from the internet, so it exists primarily on the cloud rather than your computer. Instead of an installed application fetching your email, you can manage your inbox right from your internet browser.

Examples of webmail providers include Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Hotmail.”
