Using Emailer
Emailer allows you to exchange electronic messages with other email
addresses on the Web. You can also attach flies (such as a Word Processing
document) and create multiple folders for storing email messages.
You can also use Addressbool_ to store email addresses, which can be
retrieved directly from Emailer.
Email is,a quick,
convenientway to send
messages, but it isnot
private. Do not include
confidentialinformation
in an emall message.
In addition,you cannot
send email
anonymously.Any
messageyou send can
be tracedback to your
Service Provider and
you.
Like the Wodd Wide Web, Email must be accessed through your Intemet
Service Provider who acts as your host when you send and receive email. The
host delivers your outgoing email messages and receives your incoming email
messages, storing them for you to retrieve.
Depending on your Intemet Service Provider, you can read and create emails
either online (while connected by modem) or offline (when you are not
connected). When you create emails offline, they are sent the next time you
connect to your Service Provider.
Some Service Providers require that you store email messages on your own
disk space (local). In this case, you will always read email messages offline
and store them on diskette.

Service Providers, the
POP3 and the SMTP
