E-mail
E-mail (electronic mail) is
very similar to the mail the
postal carrier delivers to
your home or office—
except much faster.
You can send letters,
pictures, postcards—even
music and video clips—to
friends, family, and
co-workers in an instant.
Outlook Express is an
e-mail program that comes
with your computer. Other
e-mail programmes include
AOL and Hotmail.
If you receive an error
message saying that your
e-mail was undeliverable,
check the address,
punctuation, and spacing and
then try sending it again.
Note: Button functions may vary
by model and by region.
