Now that you’ve connected to an ISP, set up Outlook Express, and have an Internet address, it’s time to write your first e-mail message.

Tip

E-mail addresses are written in a very specific way. Be sure the e-mail address you enter contains no spaces and has a period after the server name. Dashes and underscores may be used. Capital letters may be required. Ask the e-mail recipients exactly how to write their e-mail address.
