E-mail Page


I have been asked several questions about e-mail lately. 
The result was that I thought I would do an e-mail page.

Every internet service provider (ISP) provides you with an email address.
This is composed of your login name followed by an '@' followed by your service providers address.

Accessing your e-mail is browser dependent.
I find that Netscape provides a more intuitive set up for mail than does Microsoft Internet Explorer (MIE). 
Your options include using a generic e-mail such as Endora.

In addition to ISP e-mail there are services on the net which you can use.
I have included a complete listing of these in the table of links.

Any e-mail should include:
An address book with nick names. Provision for attachments. Better if it can do multiple attachments. Mail list construction. Ability to cut and paste. Spell checking.

I actually do not compose in my e-mail editor unless it is a short reply. 
I normally use my word processor to compose in and then cut and paste to my e-mail editor. 
The newer e-mail editors will allow paragraph dragging but the earlier ones did not.
