Sending and Receiving E-Mail

E-mail enables you to send and receive letters, pictures, postcards, and even music and video clips.

NOTE: E-mail may contain a virus in the message itself or as an attachment. To protect your computer, do not open any message that originates from an unfamiliar source or that appears suspect to you. Instead, delete such messages.

Your computer comes with an e-mail program from Microsoft called Windows Mail (select models only). You may also use e-mail programs from other vendors. Some ISPs provide their own e-mail programs. You use an e-mail program to send, receive, and organize your messages. You can organize, read, and create new messages even when you are offline (not connected to the Internet).
