Browser email service
Webmail is email accessed through a web browser rather than a dedicated application.
Services like Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Outlook.com let users read and send messages from any device with internet access: I checked my webmail at the library.
The term distinguishes browser-based email from traditional desktop clients.
