Course Overview
Email is one of the fundamental internet technologies, a tool used by nearly every person with an internet connection. It allows you to, at almost no cost, to send a letter of unlimited length to one person – or many people at once. It arrives almost instantly, and they can reply straight away. Through email, you can connect and communicate with people all over the world for social, personal or business reasons.
Our introduction to email will walk you through the fundamentals of email, what it is, how to set it up, how to use it, how to manage your inbox and more! Setting up your own email account will allow you to communicate with people you know in ways you never thought possible. We will also talk to you about the advantages of setting up multiple email accounts and how to manage multiple accounts.
