If it’s not already opened, start Outlook Express by clicking the Outlook
Express button on the taskbar’s Quick Launch toolbar.
The Outlook Express program appears.
Click the Create Mail button on the Outlook Express toolbar.
The New Message window appears, as shown in Figure 9-24, ready for you to write
your e-mail message. The first thing you have to do is specify the recipient’s e-mail
address in the To: field. You can either type this address in the To: box, or you can click
the Select Recipients from a list button that appears immediately to the left of the To:
box.
If the recipient of your e-mail isn’t in the Address Book or if you want to type out their
address in the To: field,move on to the next step. If you want to select your recipient’s
name from the Address Book (providing that they are in the address book), skip to Step
4.
Type the recipient’s e-mail address in the To: field.
If you need to send a message to more than one person, simply enter all the recipient’s
e-mail addresses, making sure you separate them with a comma (,) like this:
[email protected], [email protected]. Skip to Step 7 when you’re finished.
If the recipient is in your Address Book, click the Select recipients from
a list button to the left of the To: field.
The Select Recipients dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 9-27.
