How Works When you send an message, your service provider sends it from server to server until it reaches the recipient’s server. The message remains on the recipient’s server until the recipient retrieves it. There is no charge for sending and receiving messages. If you subscribe to an Internet service ( ISP ) at home, your account is usually included in your monthly fees. The E- mail services we will show you are free and can be used at the library for no charge.
