1>> Why Every Enterprise Needs Web-Based Email
By L.A. Heberlein, Seattle Lab
Two and a half years ago, web-based email did not exist. Now
almost everyone who uses a computer at all has at least tried
web-based email, and for many new users, going to a web-based
email account is the first thing they do upon accessing the
Internet for the first time. Web-based email started with
relatively few public web sites, widened to a large number of
web sites, then was adopted widely in schools. Now most
enterprises that provide email to their users are considering
adding web-based email.

2>> Why Pay for Web-based Email?
By Fiona Lau, The Electric Mail Company Inc.
Individuals have long seen the benefits that web-based email can
provide. Testament to this is the growth in the number of
mailboxes from 5.4 million in 1997 to the current level of 118
million. Companies are catching on to the trend as well. Every
other portal and search engine provides free web-based email to
anyone who wants an account. At the same time, there are email
outsourcing companies offering paid web-based email services.
Why should an organization pay for web-based email when it
could easily have employees set up email accounts with one of
the free services?

Web-based email is one of the great communications tools of our
time. It is, basically, a way for you to send and receive email
messages right on a webpage. This means not only that you no
longer need an email application separate from your web browser,
but that you can check your email from anywhere there's an
internet connection.

4>> A Brief History Of Web Mail
By Brian E. Taptich, The Red Herring magazine
Two years ago retrieving electronic mail was a hassle. By 1996
most office workers had the computer, Internet connection, and
software they needed to send mail electronically. Now, signing
up for a free email account that can be accessed with any
browser involves only a brief visit to a web site - ranging from
those of the handful of web portals (like Yahoo, the Microsoft
Network, Netscape, and Excite) to some of the farthest-flung
sites on the web.
For full history, please visit:

[Note from E-stein, our brainy editor:
Although this article was written in November 1998, it is
interesting to note the accuracy of the predictions made by the
author regarding the features and capabilities of future webmail
products. This piece is definitely worth a read.]

5>> *** VIRUS UPDATE! ***
Computer Associates International Inc. said it had identified a
new computer Virus named "Cholera" Wednesday, September 8, 1999.
This virus infects computers via an email containing only ":)"
and no text message. When the attachment to the email is opened,
the virus sends a message to all the addresses in the computer's
hard drive and prevents users from opening files stored in
directories that were in infected by it.
So far, there haven't been any reports of Cholera causing any
major problems in email networks. The virus is similar to two
other viruses that wreaked havoc in computers worldwide earlier
this year - Worm.ExploreZip and Melissa.

network, please visit:

The Electric Mail Company tracks the prevalence of specific
strains of viruses among E-mmunity clients. Statistics on the
viruses caught by our E-mmunity Virus Filter are compiled on a
weekly basis and updated in our E-mmunity Virus Counter.
