E-mail (electronic mail) is what allows you to
send and receive messages over the
Internet. The power of every e-mail program
varies, but the underlying jobs are
still the same: compose, send, and retrieve. For
your convenience, we have provided several
basic walkthroughs for some of the more common
e-mail programs.
The following instructions cover typical usage of Outlook Express 5.0, and
assume the software has been installed correctly on your system.
The instructions are only for individuals with a direct Internet connection, by modem or
network. If you are behind a firewall or proxy server, the information below may
not work. Consult your network administrator for more information.
