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, postcards, even
music and video clips, to
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.
Tip
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.
