 [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) is a new type of realtime communication (chat) network, the closest analogy to which is probably "email".
 
-You don't just use the "email" protocols (SMTP, POP3, IMAP) directly though. There's a some *server* somewhere which stores your data (`@gmail.com`, `@yahoo.com`, `@hotmail.com`, `@your-company.com`) and you access using these "email" protocol using use some *client* program (Outlook, Thunderbird, some website, etc).

 In the world of the Matrix chat protocol, there are various client programs. The first and currently most full-featured one is called [Element](https://element.io/) (used to be called Riot.im and Vector.im in the past). There are [many other clients](https://matrix.org/clients/). You can switch clients as much as you want until you find the one that is right for you on a given platform (you may use Element on your desktop, but Fluffychat on your phone, etc).
 
-Matrix is also like email due to the fact that are many servers around the world which can all talk to each other (you can send email from `@gmail.com` addresses to `@yahoo.com` and `@hotmail.com` addresses). It's the same with Matrix (`@bob:his-domain.com` can talk to `@alice:her-domain.org`).
