E-mail

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.

Tip

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.

Setting Up Outlook Express E-mail

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.

5.Click OK. You are now set up and ready to use e-mail.

Typing an E-mail Message

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	Description
To:	E-mail address of the recipient

Cc:	Person(s) receiving a copy of your message
Subject:	Summary of your message in a few words
