2. Attachments are basically something you can attach to an email you send to a person or a group of people. It is a file, basically a link to something that the person you send it to has to click on and what you sent will directly appire on there screen. An attachment can either be a picture, a video, a file such as a word document, a link to a website. So an attachment is a file that you can attach to an email that you send to someone for them to directly receive and click on.

3. Adding attachment are very useful for many reasons…. They save you from having to copy and paste a picture, screen shot a picture or video or document, so it is more easy for you.. They give you lots more room in your email.. You can directly send it to anywhere in the world.. you can send it to anyone in the world who has an email.. You can receive picture so it makes it easier for you do all you have to do is click on the link/tab the other person has sent which will appire at the top of the email.. Its all still 100% free, does not cost anything to add an attachment to an email.. It is very easy to use.

4. This is the browse button, it will appire at the top of your email. All you need to do is click on this link and the attachment/what ever the other person is trying to send you will appire on the screen. Simple. This is the person who the email and attachment was sent to. This is the date and the time that the email was sent. This will all appire at the top of the email so you will not be able to miss it.

5. At the top of an email you will see a little paper clip symbol. Click on this symbol to add an attachment. Once you have clicked on the paper clip symbol this box should appear on your screen. Press the ‘browse’ button. Your file will appear. Select (double click on) the picture, video, music, ect, that you would like to attach. Once you have selected it, click ‘attach’. And you will have an email with an attachment. You can then write your email and press send.

6. Auto signatures are basically your name or signature at the bottom of an email. They automatically appear at the bottom of the email as you send it so you do not have to type it out. It saves time. Effectively it is just taking away something that takes your valuable time and effort Auto signatures are useful because they save time and effort. They always appear perfectly every time without fail so you can rely on the auto signature to do the job for you.

7. If you click on ‘options’ which you will find at the top of the screen, very clearly. It will take you to a page. You must scroll down on this page and it will appear will something that looks like the picture below. You must click in the ‘type’ box. Type in your signature and select fonts and colours. Tick the small box below it, and go back on to your email. Press the save button as it appears on the screen. Then every time you send an email this signature will appear, with out fail. It saves a lot of time and effort.

8. Priorities are basically little symbols that pop up at the end of every email you send. They tell you what priority the email is, weather it is a high or low. So how important the email is. If it is very important you can have a little red explanation point at the side of the email, so it draws the persons attention to read that first. If it is just a normal email, so if it is not important but if it still needs to be read than it will have a normal priority. And if it is not important at all it will have a low priority symbol at the end. So basically you can show your friends that you send emails to what is important, so they read it first. And what is normal and unimportant. I will show you on the next slide how to do this with print screens. Priorities are very useful because they show you what you must read first and what can be left till last. So then anything that is urgent and needs reading, will grab you attention and nothing goes unread.

9. At the top of every email you reply to you will see these symbols. The red explanation point is to show the person that the email you are sending is very important. The little blue arrow pointing downwards is to show the person that the email you are sending to them is not very important.

10. Folders are basically folders that are below/attached to your inbox. They are there for you to separate your messages from friends, work colleagues, family and things like that. So one folder will have labelled on it ‘family’. You will not be able to miss it. the benefits of using folders are that you will not get mixed up about what email is from who. You will know exactly what is from your family, friends, wife and work colleagues.

11. To make folders you must RIGHT click on the your inbox. Then you must click on ‘create new folder’. And type in what category you want your folder to be. You must add the emails the folder you want that persons email to go to. By Shannon Nicholson 10.4
