1

Open Windows Mail and click the Create Mail icon from the program’s menu.



>

If you don’t see a Create Mail icon along the top, click the File menu, select New, and choose Mail Message. A New Message window appears.


To send a quick e-mail to somebody in your Contacts folder, right-click his or her name, choose Action, and select Send E-Mail. Windows Mail opens an e-mail already addressed to that person, saving you a step.

2

Type your friend’s e-mail address into the To box.



>

Or, click the To button next to where you type an address: A window appears, listing the names of people listed in your Contacts folder. Click your friend’s name, click the To button, and click OK.

3

Fill in the Subject box.



>

Although optional, the Subject line lets your friends know why you’re bugging them. That makes it easier for your friends to sort their mail.

4

Type your message into the large box at the bottom of the window.



>

Type whatever you want and for as long as you want. There’s very little limit on the size of a text file.

5

To attach a file to your message, drag and drop the file onto the message or click the paper clip icon, navigate to the file, and double-click the file’s name to attach it.



>

Most ISPs balk at sending files larger than about 5MB, however, which rules out most MP3 files and some digital photos.

6

Click the Send button in the box’s top-left corner.

No Send button? Then click File in the New Message window and choose Send Message.
