Difference betweenElectronic mails and postal mails.

Electronic mails or e-mails are a lot like postal mail.

E-mail saves trees by reducing the usage of paper While a postal mail uses paper.

Postal mails need stamps, while e-mails do not need stamps.

We can send videos and music through e-mails, while we cannot by mail.

E-mail are delivered much much faster than a postal mail.

We can chat through our e-mail accounts.

We have our own separate account and address while sending e-mails, but in the case of postal mails we do not.

Therefore e-mails are prominently faster, better & cheaper.
