'''Webmail''' (or '''web-based email''') is an [[Email|email service]] that can be accessed using a standard [[web browser]]. It contrasts with email service accessible through a specialised [[email client|email client software]]. Additionally, many [[internet service provider]]s (ISP) provide webmail as part of their internet service package. Similarly, some [[Web hosting service|web hosting providers]] also provide webmail as a part of their hosting package.

As with any [[web application]], webmail's main advantage over the use of a [[Desktop computer|desktop]] [[email client]] is the ability to send and receive email anywhere from a web browser.
