What is e-mail and what are its advantages in business communication

E-mail and its Advantages- E-mail is a fast growing method of communication that enables us to use computer networks to transfer messages or ‘files’ electronically. Today it reaches many millions of people around the globe.

While e-mail has some disadvantages compared to fax- the messages are not transmitted immediately it is much cheaper. E-mail also reduces paperwork, since the messages are stored in the computer. And, unlike faxes which sometimes get smudged or are otherwise illegible, e-mail messages are always clear and easy-to-read. And while we can’t use our fax machine to send an e-mail message, if we subscribe to an e-mail service, we can send a fax through computer.
