Despite their initial animosity towards each other, they begin to fall in love through their online correspondence. As they get to know each other better, they begin to realize that they have a lot in common and eventually meet in person.
Sleepless in Seattle, on the other hand, follows the story of a widower named Sam and his son Jonah, who are struggling to cope with the loss of Sam's wife. Sam and Jonah are brought together with Annie, a journalist who becomes fascinated by Sam's story and eventually falls in love with him.
Both You've Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle deal with the theme of love and relationships in a romantic and comedic way. In You've Got Mail, the relationship between Kathleen and Joe starts off as a rivalry, but through their online correspondence, they are able to connect and fall in love.
