EP01-3 How to use email by sending and retrieving email message and attaching and downloading email attachments.

Sending an email

1- Click the Compose button on the left side of your Gmail page.

2- Type your recipient's email address in the “To” field.

3-   As you type a recipient’s address, Gmail will suggest addresses from your Contacts list using auto-complete.

4-   Once you've entered a contact in the "To" field, hover over the contact’s name to see the email address and other information associated with it. Double-click a contact’s name to edit the email address or name.

5-   We suggest using the carbon copy feature when you'd like to include additional recipients whose responses are welcome but not required. Display this field by clicking Cc. The blind carbon copy field (click Bcc to display) lets you hide recipients' addresses and names from one another.

    

6- Enter a subject for your message in the “Subject” field.

7- Write your message! Just click in the large field below the subject line and type away.

8- When you're done composing, click the Send button at the bottom of your compose window.

Retrieving an email

1- Open the message you want to forward.

2- Click the Forward link in the box below the message.

If you don’t see the Forward link, click the down arrow next to Reply in the top-right corner of the message and select Forward.

3- Add the new recipient(s) and any additional text to your message.

If the message has attachments, you can choose not to forward them by scrolling to the bottom of the message text and clicking the x where the attachment is listed.

Older messages in the conversation may also be included in the text. You can simply delete the text if you don’t want to forward it.

4- Click Send.

Attaching email attachments.

1-              To attach a file to a message you're composing, follow the steps below:

2- In Gmail, click the Compose button.

4-

5- Browse through your files and click the name of the file you'd like to attach.

6- Click Open.

7-  To attach multiple files, hold the Ctrl (PC) or ⌘ (Mac) key while selecting your files. Selecting multiple

files at once is not possible using Internet Explorer 9.

Downloading email attachments.

When you receive an email with attachments, you’ll see thumbnails of the attachments at the bottom of your message.

Click the thumbnail to view the attachment
or see  options like print and share.   

 
 

Move your mouse over the thumbnail and use the  buttons to    Download or  Save to Drive.

Some attachments can be viewed or shared, but not downloaded or saved to Drive. If you’d rather view attachments in a new tab, hold Ctrl or ⌘ while you click the attachment thumbnail.
