E-mail
E-mail allows you to send messages to friends, family, co-workers and businesses.
These messages can include other electronic documents, including photos, video
clips, sound files, text files and more.
E-mail addresses typically look something like this: JohnSmith@myisp.com. To get
an e-mail account you will need to sign up for an ISP. Your ISP will provide
information you need to enter in order to use the Internet and e-mail, such as your
e-mail address, your incoming mail server name and your outgoing mail (SMTP)
server name. Windows will take you through a series of questions to enter this
information when you first use Outlook Express.
