eMail

eMail (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 eMail program that comes with your computer. Other eMail programs include AOL and Hotmail.

Tip

If you receive an error message saying that your

eMail was undeliverable, check the address, punctuation, and spacing and then try sending it again.

Setting Up Outlook Express eMail

1.Press the Instant eMail 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 eMail.

Typing an eMail Message

Regardless of the eMail software you choose, creating an eMail message is like filling out a form. When typing an eMail message, you must complete the following:
