- What is IndianMagic Mail?
IndianMagic Mail is the world's largest provider of free Web-based
e-mail. IndianMagic Mail is based on the premise that e-mail access should
be easy and possible from any computer connected to the World Wide Web. By
adhering to the universal Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) standard,
IndianMagic Mail eliminates the disparities that exist between different
e-mail programs. Sending and receiving e-mail from IndianMagic Mail is as
easy as going to the IndianMagic Mail Web site at http://mail.indian-magic.net
, signing in, and sending an e-mail message. By using a Web browser as a
universal e-mail program, IndianMagic Mail brings your personal information
to you in a globally-retrievable form.

- How is IndianMagic Mail different than e-mail?
E-mail provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) requires the use of
a properly configured e-mail program. To access e-mail provided by services
such as CompuServe� or America Online�, a member needs proprietary
CompuServe or AOL� software. These client/server e-mail systems are
inherently limited and closed because they require the use of proprietary
client software. E-mail access on these services is not universal, difficult
while traveling, and virtually impossible from overseas.
IndianMagic Mail is based on open Web-based technology. The Web browser,
which is more universally available than any proprietary e-mail program, is
used for e-mail sent from and received by IndianMagic Mail. Web-based
IndianMagic Mail is accessible world wide, offers a cross-platform e-mail
solution, and is cheaper and easier than using traditional e-mail programs.
An additional advantage of IndianMagic Mail is that a member is not required
to install any new software other than a Web browser.
