E-mail jako nástroj komunikace

As the theme of my Bachelor thesis I have chosen "E-mail as a communication tool". The reason for choosing this was the fact that a lot of people uses this communication method for its distinct advantages everyday. The number of people who communicate constantly grows. I belong to this group too and that is why I have decided to penetrate the functioning of this form of communication and discover what options e-mail offers to users. In my thesis I pursue several objectives. The first one is to chart history, present and possible future development of e-mail. I also deal with the issue how and in which environment e-mail works and what its forms of exploitation and abuse are. The next target is to compare six selected free mail providers on the basis of multi-criteria analysis and to compare its results with the results resulting from the questionnaire drawn up by me. For theoretical part of my thesis I use literature and information from the Internet as a source of information. At the practical section I work mainly with portals of individual free mail providers and the findings of the questionnaire. I can see the benefits of my thesis in the fact that through to this thesis the reader can obtain a complete picture of e-mail without wasting their time searching information in different sources. It can also serve as a help in selecting an appropriate provider. The thesis is divided into two parts: the theoretical and practical one. In the theoretical part I explain basic concepts needed to understand the next part which deals with the construction and operation of e-mail. The practical part compares the free mail providers on the basis of my own analysis and analysis of information from the questionnaire.
