解説
問 66
Incorrectア
The combination of ① and ②. ② is correct, but ① is wrong. ① claims that “dedicated software must be installed in advance”, but this describes a mail software (mail client) and does not apply to Web mail, which can be used with only a browser.
Incorrectイ
The combination of ① and ③. ③ is correct, but ① is wrong. ①'s point that dedicated software is required contradicts the characteristic of Web mail (everything is done within the browser), so this combination is inappropriate.
- ウ
正解 Web mail (Webmail) is a service that lets you send, receive, and manage e-mail directly in a Web browser without any mail software (client); the e-mail itself is stored on the service provider's server. Statement ② is correct: because the mail is kept on the server, you do not need to migrate local data even when you replace the PC. Statement ③ is correct: as long as you have a PC that can run a browser and connect to the Internet, you can use the e-mail function from any device. Therefore the appropriate statements are ② and ③, and the correct answer is “ウ”.
Incorrectエ
Only ③. ③ is indeed correct, but ② (no need to migrate e-mail when replacing the PC) is also a correct statement; because this option omits ②, it does not list “all and only the appropriate” statements.
ここがポイント
- Web mail is used through a browser, and the e-mail itself is stored on the server side. Therefore no dedicated mail software needs to be installed, and no data migration is required even when you switch devices.
- A mail software (mail client) is a method where software is installed on the device and e-mail is stored and managed locally; distinguishing this from Web mail is the point being tested.
