How to Send an E-mail Message

Introduction

E-mail allows you to communicate quickly anywhere in the world, providing your recipient has an e-mail account. The message is usually delivered within a matter of minutes.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Configuring Your E-mail Software

Steps

1.)Open your e-mail program. Before you can send an e-mail message, your e-mail software must have the right configuration so it can send your mail.

2.) Look for commands labeled Settings, Accounts or Options.

3.) Check to be sure that your e-mail software displays the correct settings for your account. If you do not know these settings, your Internet Service Provider or e-mail service will be able to tell you what they are. You will need your POP server name and the SMTP server name.(The POP server is where your e-mail resides; the SMTP server is what transfers e-mail you send.)

4.) This information need only be entered once, although you can go back and change it whenever you want.
