1-8 Using e-mail Like a Pro

In this lesson you will learn some of the basic tools that can help you use e-mail like a pro. Remember, when you write a message on paper (the old fashioned way) or via e-mail, you are introducing yourself to someone. You want them to have a good impression. Even if you're sending a message to someone you know like a friend or relative, they will be very impressed if you demonstrate that you are an e-mail power-user.

You will have to start with logging in to your district g-mail account. If you haven't done this before, the instructions below will help you.
