email 

Electronic mail is one of  the key facilities of the Internet. With email, messages are sent quickly to the other side of the world, and almost any type of document can be “attached” with the message. Thanks to the advantages of email many international communication and collaborative activities and projects can be arranged.  

There are many programs to run email. The most common are Eudora, Netscape Mail or Exchange. In order to be able to send a message you need to know a bit about how these programs work. In this lesson you will learn the basics of Netscape Mail.  

The icons and functions you will see may vary a bit from the email program running in your computer, and even from previous versions of Netscape. Nevertheless, they will serve as an example to exemplify the most important functions of electronic mail.  
  
  • Instructions
