6) Sending email

Sending email

Step 1:Log in to your email account so that you are on the dashboard (main page) of your mail account.

Step 2: Click COMPOSE.

 

Step 3:A new email window will open. To send mail to single recipient in the ‘To’ address box type the email address of single recipient or to send multiple recipient In the ‘To’ address box, type in the first recipient’s email address. Then type a comma and make a space, to separate this address from the next email address. Type in the second address and continue, inserting a comma and a space between each subsequent address and type in the subject of your email and the text of your message.

 

Step 4:You might want to include someone else in your email just to ‘keep them in the loop’. You can do this by clicking Cc or Bcc, which will open another field. ‘Cc’ means ‘carbon copy’ and ‘Bcc’ means ‘blind carbon copy’.

Adding an email address to the ‘Cc’ field means that that person will receive a copy of the email and all other recipients will see their email address. If an email address is put into the ‘Bcc’ field, the person will get a copy of the email but no other recipient will see that address.

 

If you are sending the same email to lots of different people, it’s a good idea to put all the email addresses in the ‘Bcc’ field to keep your ‘mailing list’ confidential. That way, there’s no chance that it could fall into the hands of a spammer or hacker.

Step 6:Click the Send button.

After successful sending of the mail, a confirmation message would be displayed.

Verifying the status of send mail (is it sent or not) ?

Step 8: If the e-mail was sent successfully, it appears in the sent folder.

Step 9: If the mail was not sent, it would appear in Drafts folder.
