Introduction
Providing you have the correct email address, you can use Outlook to send a message
to anyone with an email account. Like the other Outlook components, the email portion
features a message form you can fill out. If you know the recipient uses Outlook, too,
you can even add formatting to your message.
|
Step 1: Open a New Message Form
From the Outlook Inbox folder, open the Actions menu and select New Mail Message,
or click the New Mail Message button on the toolbar. This opens the Message window.
|
Step 2: Enter a Recipient Address
The Message window resembles a form. Fill out the form, using the Tab key to move from field to field. To begin, click inside the To text box and type the name of the recipient.
|
Step 3: Carbon Copy
If you want to send the message to multiple recipients, enter the other recipients'
addresses in the Cc text box.
|
Step 4: Enter the Subject
Click inside the Subject text box and enter a title or phrase to identify the content
or purpose of your message.
|
Step 5: Type Your Message
Click inside the message box and type your message text. Outlook automatically
wraps the text for you. Use the Delete and Backspace keys to fix mistakes,
just as you would in a Word document.
|
Step 6: Send the Message
To send the message, click the Send button. If you're offline (not connected to
the Internet or network) the message waits in the Outbox until the next time you
go online to collect your mail.
