Goodwill Community Foundation creating
opportunities for a better life
in this video we're going to go over the
basics of sending and receiving email
with Outlook 2010 the first thing you
should do is make sure mail is selected
in the lower left and we're going to
start by creating a new email in the
home tab click the new email command and
the compose window will open you'll need
to add at least one recipient you can do
this by typing an email address in the
to field or if a contact is already in
your address book you can just start
typing their name and when you see their
email address pop up press the Enter key
or the tab key you can also click to to
open your address book then you can
double click a person's name to add them
to the to field sometimes you may want
to add someone to the CC or Carbon Copy
field you can do this by selecting their
name and then clicking the CC button
Carbon Copy basically just lets the
person know that they're not the main
recipient while still keeping them in
the loop BCC or blind carbon copy hides
the recipients email addresses from all
of the other recipients if you're
sending out an email to a large group of
people you may want to put all of the
recipients in the BCC field but for this
email we don't need to use it when
you're done click OK then
your subject and the body of your
message when you're done click send to
send the email to read your emails
you'll need to make sure inbox is
selected any unread messages will have
the sender's name and bold you can click
a message to read it or you can use the
arrow keys on your keyboard to switch
between different messages in this email
Gregory Mays is the main recipient but
Meredith green also received a copy it's
a good idea to check this to see whether
you're the main recipient because if
you're not you may not need to respond
to it if there is an attachment you can
click on it to view it or you can
right-click it to print or save it now
that I've read the message I have the
option of replying to it or forwarding
it to someone else and I'd like to reply
to it since there was more than one
recipient I'm going to select reply also
that everybody saves in the loop I'll
then type my message I'd like to add an
attachment to this email so I'll click
attach file in the message tab I'll
select the file that I want and then
click insert and before I send it I'd
also like to add a signature which is a
block of text that appears at the end of
the email and usually include your name
and contact info in the message tab
click the signature command and then
select signatures click new type the
name that you want it to have and then
click
okay you can then type your signature
below
you can add any formatting that you like
but keep in mind that if you're using
outlook at work you may not want to use
too much unusual formatting because it
may start to look unprofessional when
you're done click OK now in the message
tab click signature and select your
signature then click send to send the
email and now whenever you click the new
email button your signature will appear
at the end
