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: [email protected]. 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. 

Sending a new e-mail with Outlook Express in Windows XP

After signing up for your ISP and getting your e-mail address (JohnSmith@

yourisp.com), click the Start menu and then click Outlook Express. Click Create Mail

and enter the e-mail address of your recipient ([email protected]) in the To

field. Press Tab to move to the Subject line and add a subject. Tab to the 

message box and type your message. When you are done, click Send. If you have

not yet entered your incoming and outgoing server names, you will be asked to 

enter these now. Your ISP will provide you with this information when you sign up.
