"client" or "request" meaning

Hi,
sorry for previous message.
I'm trying to fully understand the meaning of "client" or "request" concepts in Apache.
For example:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#maxclients

Description:Maximum number of connections that will be processed simultaneously

...
The MaxClients directive sets the limit on the number of simultaneous requests that will be served.

So, what is a "connection"?
If I connect to my home webmail, I see several connection, even if I the only user.
This means that 5 or 6 "clients" are already reserved?

Thankyou very much.
