Messages

Writing an e-mail message is easy to do and makes it easy to keep up with friends and family near and far.

Tip

Your Home Internet Appliance automatically knows when you are at the end of the line and moves down to the next line. Press the Enter key on the keyboard only when you wish to start a new paragraph.

Did you know ...

If you receive an error message saying your e-mail was undeliverable, check the address, punctuation, and spacing, then try mailing it again.

Tip

If you accidently lose your message before you send it, return to the write new mail feature. Before you start a new message, you will be asked if you want to complete the message you were writing previously. In most cases, this works even if you turned the Appliance off before sending the message.
