7. ADVANTAGES
Cheap. Once you're online, there is no further expense.
Easy to reference. Sent and received messages and attachments can
be stored safely, logically and reliably.
Easy to use. Once you're set up, sending and receiving messages is
simple. That goes for a host of other email functions. Data storage and
contacts can be accessed quickly and easily.
Fast. Message to send? Done, under a second! Email is by far the
fastest form of written communication.
Global. Web based email means you can access your messages
anywhere online. Going oversees? Before you go, mail yourself a copy
of your passport number, travel insurance details or your
accommodation details.

8. Emotional responses. Some emails cause upset or anger. A reply
in the heat of the moment can't be retracted.
Information overload. Too many people send too much
information. They often cite need to know as the justification.
Lacks the personal touch. Some things are best left untyped.
Email will never beat a hand written card or letter when it comes
to relationships.
Misunderstandings. Emails from people who don't take the time
to read what they write before clicking 'send'. Time is wasted,
either to clarify or, worse, acting on a misinterpretation of the
message.
No respite. The law of the empty inbox-leave it and will grow.
Ignore it at your peril!
