Want to know how to send an email? It couldn’t be easier. You just need to know the email address(es) of the person or people that you’re sending the message to. What’s more, you can send the same message to more than one person at the same time – keeping everyone in the loop!
To write and send a message:
- From your desktop click on Start and then click on Outlook Express from the Menu.
- To create an email message click on Create Mail from the Outlook Express main screen as shown below:
Next you’ll see this email template:
- Simply enter the email address of the person or people you’d like to send it to in the To, field. If there is more than one recipient, separate each email address with a comma.
If you like, you can add an email address to the Cc field. The Cc field is there for you to enter email addresses of people you want to see the message, but is not directly relevant to them. This tends to be used more in business, and you can leave this blank if you want to. - Enter a brief description of the subject of the message in the Subject field. The Subject can be anything that will help you and the recipient to identify the message.
- In the larger text area beneath, type in the message that you want to recipient(s) to see. You can type this as you would any letter, with a greeting, the body of the message in paragraphs, and then a sign-off.
- When you are ready to send the message, simply click on Send.
