# Using E-mail These pages help you to use the E-mail feature in DR-WebSpyder. Choose from the following topics: Introduction Starting E-mail Getting New E-mail Displaying Your Inbox Reading Your E-mail Writing E-mail Sending E-mail Viewing E-mail You Have Written Viewing E-mail You Have Sent Exiting E-mail ## Introduction You can use DR-WebSpyder as your Internet browser and E-mail program. You need to ask your service provider to set up your E-mail account and provide you with your E-mail information such as your E-mail name. When you first go in to the E-mail page, you automatically go to your In Box where your E-mail is displayed. When you are connected to the Internet, you can download any new E-mails you may have simply by clicking one button. You can also send E-mails very easily using the simple tabbed pages to help you. If you do not always have a connection to the Internet, you can still write new E-mails but instead of sending them straight away, you can save them in your Unsent box. When you next have a connection to the Internet, you can choose to send your E-mails and you can even edit them again before sending them. Back to List of Topics ## Starting Email From DR-WebSpyder, you can get to your E-mail by clicking the EMAIL icon on the navigation bar (ALT+M key combination). Your E-mail Inbox is displayed and lists any E-mail messages you have previously downloaded using the Get Mail button. Back to List of Topics ## Getting New E-mail Go to the E-mail page by clicking the E-mail icon on the navigation bar. Click the Get Mail button to download any new E-mail you may have. New E-mail messages will be displayed in your Inbox. You can view the list of items you have and open your messages to read them. Back to List of Topics ## Displaying Your Inbox Your Inbox holds read and unread E-mail messages. To display your Inbox, do the following: Click the Mail icon in the navigation bar.

Back to List of Topics ## Reading an E-Mail Message Click on an item in the Inbox to open it. The E-mail message is displayed and shows the header information such as who it is from, the E-mail message and any file attachments such as documents are displayed at the bottom.
Back to List of Topics ## Writing E-Mail In the Inbox, select the Create tab. The Create Mail page is displayed. Type your E-mail message in the main box. You then need to type in the E-mail address of the person you are sending it to. It will probably be in the form of name@company.com. If you want to copy someone else with the E-mail, you can enter that persons E-mail address in the "CC" text box. It is always good practice when sending E-mail, to let the recipients know what your E-mail is about. Type in some details of what your E-mail is about in the "Subject" field. You can send attachments with your E-mail such as a graphic or document. Simply type in the location and name of the file you want to send with your E-mail in the "Attachment" text box. You can either save it and send the E-mail later (it will be stored in your Unsent box) or send it straight away. You might want to send it later because you are not connected to the Internet at the moment or you can get cheaper phone calls perhaps at certain times of the day or there may be something you want to add to the message later. Back to List of Topics ## Sending E-Mail You can send an E-mail immediately after you have written it or you can send E-mail that you have previously saved. To send E-mail immediately after you write it, just select the Send Mail button in the page where you write the E-mail. To send mail you have previously written and saved, select the Unsent tab. Select the E-mail message you want to send and select the Send button.
