e-mail help

This e-mail help tutorial will look at e-mail folders and the e-mail options that are available. First let me say you have done very well to come this far and you now have the skills to e-mail anything to anyone.

So looking at the picture above imagine how it is going to look when you have 100 messages in your inbox. What about 200 or 300 messages, How will you ever find the e-mail your looking for. Well many people do it many different ways here is one way. Look at the picture below.

This way of finding e-mails is using an e-mail filter. Look in your inbox at the top the text says sort by Date click on it and the drop down shown in the picture appears. These show all the ways you can filter your mail, you can sort it by who it is from, by it's subject, by it's size and of course by it's date.

You can also apply an e-mail filter that shows only messages with a certain subject, from a particular sender or with attachments. This helps greatly sorting thru 100's of e-mails.

Another way to organize your e-mails is by using e-mail folders if you look in the left pane there are some there already. Inbox, Junk and deleted to name a few. You can add to those e-mail folders with folders named anything you want.

To create an e-mail folder though you must first select an e-mail you will put in that folder. Next click on the move to icon at the top of the screen and from the drop down menu choose New Folder a new folder appears in the e-mail folders list and is highlighted for you to type a name in.

Make as many of these e-mail folders as you need to keep your e-mails sorted for easy access. To move e-mails to these folders put checks in each e-mail you wish to move to a single folder then go to the move to menu and from the drop down choose the folder to move them to and then they are moved.

Earlier in another e-mail help tutorial on contacts I was going to tell you about e-mail groups. An e-mail group is a group of contacts that you email all the time. Go to your contact list and at the top you will see a
add to group option click on it.

A new icon appears in the contact pane on the left type a name for this group it should be a descriptive name like family or bowling etc. Now left click on all the contacts you want in that group while holding down the CTRL key on your keyboard so you can select multiple contacts. Now click on the add to group option at the top of the page and choose the group you just made.

Now when you send an e-mail when you click on the To, Cc or Bcc buttons if the e-mail is to the people in this group just click the group and all the people in the group will be added automatically. Pretty cool huh?

This e-mail help tutorial was meant for the beginner and as such beginners should leave the options alone until they are comfortable with the program. The options in this program will allow you to edit personal information, forward your mail to another email account, a beginner could choose a theme with no problem. Themes are just different colors and styles to your e-mails.

In the e-mail options you can also create a personal signature this option adds your signature to the end of every e-mail you send.

This concludes the e-mail help tutorial if I have missed something or you need help with something please use the contact form to ask your question and I will try to answer your question for you.
