Even when the whole world was communicating electronically from the comfort of their home, our soldiers were only dependent upon the postal services to communicate with their family and friends. But these services were so slow that people nicknamed it ‘Snail- Mail’.
Thus, there was a dire need of a medium which should be secure enough that Army can trust on and that was later on fulfilled by “Army Webmail”.
Thus, we’ve come out with this guide to put together everything that is there to know about using it! So, let’s straightaway dive into the details—
