Okay kiddo, you know how sometimes we have to send messages to our friends or family members using our phones or computers? Well, sometimes we use a tool called an email client to do that.
An email client is like a special program that helps you read and write emails. But did you know that there are different types of email clients? One of these types is the text-based email client.
A text-based email client is a really simple tool that only uses words and symbols to display messages. It is called "text-based" because it does not show pictures or fancy designs like other email clients.
Imagine a piece of paper with just words and letters on it. That's what a text-based email client looks like. It doesn't have any images or colors, but it does have letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and other symbols that we use to write and read emails.
Using a text-based email client is easy. You just type in the email address of the person you want to send a message to, write your message using the keyboard, and then hit the send button. When you receive an email, it will show up as a bunch of words and letters that you can read on your screen.
So, to summarize, a text-based email client is a simple program that only displays words and symbols to help you read and write emails. It's like looking at a plain piece of paper, but using a computer or phone to do it.
