解説
問 57
Incorrectア
“①, ②”. Inappropriate because it includes the incorrect statement ①. Statement ① “an email sent using Web mail can be viewed only with a Web browser” is wrong; a sent email is the same as an ordinary email, and the recipient can also view it with mail software that supports POP/IMAP. Only ② is correct, and ① must not be included.
Incorrectイ
“①, ②, ③”. It includes all of them, but is inappropriate because it includes the incorrect statement ①. Statement ①'s claim that the viewing method is limited to only the browser does not hold.
Incorrectウ
“①, ③”. Inappropriate because it includes the incorrect statement ① and lacks the correct statement ②. Statement ① does not hold, and statement ② (can be viewed without downloading and saving) is appropriate, so it should be included.
- エ
正解 Web mail is a mechanism for operating email stored on a mail server via a Web browser. Statement ② is appropriate because the email is kept on the server side and displayed in the browser, so it can be viewed without downloading and saving it to the PC. Statement ③ is appropriate because the send and receive functions are also provided on the browser screen, so email can be sent and received with only a Web browser, without preparing dedicated mail software (a mail client). Therefore, the appropriate statements are ② and ③, and the correct answer is エ “②, ③”.
ここがポイント
- Web mail is a method in which email is kept on the server and can be sent, received, and viewed with only a Web browser; it requires neither installing dedicated mail software on the PC nor downloading and saving it locally.
- Note that an email sent via Web mail is identical to an ordinary email and does not limit the recipient's viewing method (whether a browser or mail software).
