E-mail (electronic mail) is
very similar to the mail the
postal carrier delivers to
your home or office –
except much faster.
You can send letters,
pictures, postcards – even
music and video clips – to
friends, family, and
co-workers in an instant.
Outlook Express is an
e-mail program that comes
with your computer. Other
e-mail programs include
AOL and Hotmail.
If you receive an error
message saying that your
e-mail was undeliverable,
check the address,
punctuation, and spacing and
then try sending it again.
1. Press the Instant e-mail ƒ
button on the Internet
keyboard.
2. Click the Send and Receive
button on the toolbar. A dialog box requesting your password
is displayed.
3. Type a password.
4. Click Remember Password to avoid retyping your password
each time you access the Internet.
5. Click OK. You are now set up and ready to use e-mail.
Regardless of the e-mail software you choose, creating an e-mail
message is like filling out a form. When typing an e-mail
message, you must complete the following:
Feature
To: E-mail address of the recipient
Subject: Summary of your message in a few words
Cc: Person or persons receiving a copy of your message
Message: Content of your message
You can also send a Bcc, known as a blind copy. The recipient of
the blind copy is not listed on the e-mails received by the other
recipients.
