For anyone still using a dialup connection to connect to the internet, it may not always be convenient to read all your emails during the one session online and it may not be worth dialing back in just to see the rest of your emails. Fortunately most email clients download all your emails while you are connected and allow you to read them whenever you like without having to be connected to do so.

For those people still using a dial up internet connection, the amount of time that you can actually spend connected to the internet will be somewhat more limited than you would get with a broadband connection. By planning out what you are going to do in advance you can arrange things so as to make the best use of the time that you spend online by leaving many of the tasks that can be done without requiring the internet to be connected right this minute to those times when you are able to work on your computer and are not connected to the internet. This is useful for example if you have two separate times each day when you can use the computer but want to avoid having to connect to the internet on both occasions.
