You can easily create your own free e-mail account from an internet mail provider such as Hotmail , Gmail , or Yahoo. Then you can send or receive e-mails from anywhere with the internet access. However, slow processors and power cuts might be a problem in Nepal.
You can also carry out other activities like uploading or downloading photos on the internet besides sending and receiving emails.
