  Using E-mail Software Back Next

Most e-mail programs have many features in common. Once you know one program, you can easily use others.
 
Launching your e-mail program is usually as simple as clicking on the e-mail icon on your desktop. Once the program is open, write a message by clicking on the Compose Mail, New Message or similar button.
 
E-mail Software
In the new message window, type the e-mail addresses of the recipients in the To field, or use the address book--a handy feature of your e-mail program that stores frequently used addresses--to select one or more e-mail addresses.
 
In the CC field, enter the address of anyone you want to receive a copy of the message. Type the e-mail address or choose it from your address book.
 
Type the subject of the message now or wait until after you've composed your message.
 
Now type your message. You can edit it as you would a word-processing document. You can also copy text from another message or document and paste it into the message box.
 
Finally, click on the Send button. If you have your spellchecker program enabled, it should run before the message goes off into cyberspace, allowing you to correct any errors.
