Using Electronic Mail

Every UNIX system allows you to exchange electronic mail with other users on your local system. Most systems also allow you to exchange mail with users on remote systems.

Electronic mail is very quick. Messages will reach users on the same system almost immediately; users on systems elsewhere in this country, or other countries, in a few minutes, or hours at most.
