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).

Using Windows Mail

To set up Windows Mail, you first need some information from your ISP: your e-mail address, user name, password, the names of your incoming and outgoing e-mail servers, and perhaps some other details.

The first time you start Windows Mail, make sure the computer is connected to the Internet, and follow the wizard to set up your account.

To add an account in Windows Mail:

1Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar.

2Click All Programs.

3Click Windows Mail.

4Click Tools, and then click Accounts.

5Click Add, E-mail Account, and then click Next.

6Follow the onscreen instructions to add your account.

Using the e-mail program provided by your ISP

Follow the instructions provided by your ISP to install its Web browser and e-mail program, and to set up and use your e-mail account. You can then send and receive e-mail when your computer is connected to your ISP.
