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, postcardseven
music and video clipsto
friends, family, and
co-workers in an instant.
Outlook Express is an
e-mail program that comes
with your computer. Other
e-mail programs 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.
