Hiya First I aint pissed at u lol just CCBILL at the moment. Can you please Icq me so I can get this str8. Thanks ma'am

There is this new thing called email. Its supposed to work just dandy!


Electronic Mail or Email is one of the most frequently used services on the Internet. Email lets you send messages to another person, or even a group of people. It works in much the same way as the normal postal service, but without all that paper, and you don?t require stamps. It is also much faster and cheaper that sending either a letter or a facsimile. You can even send videos, sound and images via Email.

You will have an Email box, which works like a mail box at the Post Office, but it will be stored on the computer. You will be able to clear your mail from this mail box whenever it is convenient to you, and you will be able to send mail to other users at any time. No more waiting for the Post Office to clear and sort the mail.

Once you have downloaded your Email messages to your own computer you can disconnect from the Internet and read your mail when convenient. You are also able to write your Email messages off line and when you are ready to send the message you can then connect to the Internet.

Email Addresses
Each user?s mail box has a unique address that identifies the individual. The address will also include an address for the computer on which the mail box is kept. When you organise access to the Internet through your Internet Service Provider you will be given your personal Email address.

Your Email address provides all the information that is required for people to contact you from anywhere in the world, just like the address you would put on an envelope. Email addresses may look rather complicated, but once you are familiar with them they are really quite logical. Your Email address consists of a number of parts

eg Username @domainname.organisation.country ([email protected])
The username is your own username or ID - this may be the name you use to logon to the Internet or you may choose something different for your Email address.

The domain name is where the computer lives, it may be your Internet Service Provider, your employer or a university etc.

The organisation indicates the type of organisation or group, for example,

com commercial organisation
edu educational institution
gov government body
Most countries, excluding the USA, use a standard country code eg nz for New Zealand, uk or the United Kingdom, de for Germany. An Australian Internet site is identified by au.

All the information after the @ relates to the computer (or domain) where the user?s account is stored and anything before the @ relates to the user.

When you put all the components together they make up a unique address for each individual user. You may see a variation to some Internet addresses as there are also digital equivalents.

Email Software
There are numerous Email programs available and most of them offer the same type of functions. They will all allow you to receive and read your incoming mail, save and print incoming mail, send new messages, reply to messages, etc. While these functions will all be available, some Email programs may be easier to use than others.

The software that you use to access the Internet should have Email facilities, which you may be able to access from the browser, or you may need to install some additional software. If you require any further information relating to Email programs we suggest that you contact your Internet Service Provider. While we are not recommending any particular Email program, we do suggest that you use the latest version of the particular software you decide to install. When making a decision about an Email program for a course it is useful to find out if there is a package recommended as then you may not have so many problems in sending attachments.


Using Email
To use your email program efficiently you will need to know how to do the following:

access your email program
open and read email messages sent to you
reply to an email message
print an email message
save an email message to a file
include text in a reply (and how to edit this text)
email to groups
attach files etc to email messages

Yep, I heared about that thing too.

I even think ccbill had some phones installed last week:1orglaugh

Phones? What are these phones things you speak of?

Dunno, sounds too complicated, I don't think it'll fly...

I think it might just work, let's try it.

KimmyKim, do you use that email thing? Is it good? Do you need to have the internet for that?

I have this "free AOL for a month" CD here, maybe I should try using that?

anyone got the divx of that ass to mouth movie kimmykim did?

Really? I thought those were coasters! I got a matched set of 8 -- now I know what to do with 'em ;)

Nope, they make the internet happen on your computer. You put them into your computer and then the internet starts. I think thats when you can do the email.

KK if i use that new phone thing theyre talking about, will you talk dirty to me?

Phone? You mean that empty can of corn with the string coming out of one end?

is email part of the microsoft® interweb?

If you think that free month to AOL is good...

I got some sites that are giving away FREE MEMBERSHIPS.. you just need a credit card for "verification"!!!!!!!!!!!

My uncle got the interweb thing in his house. He does the email and the clickity click thing and it goes real good.

Rumor has it that you can get some free pornography on that there interweb deal.

I guess I'd better go out and get a computer then, since I'm not seeing any email from Tom...

How do you put them in? They won't fit through the grills on the back, and there's a slit on the front that's only about 3.5" wide so it won't fit in there either. There's a tray that slides in and out but I thought that was a cup holder...

really? where?

What is it with people leaving messages on GFY?! I would think that if you've ever communicated before you would have a phone number, ICQ or E-mail address.

Brad

ok I was juist going to let this shit slide. but first DONT you think That I allready did all this shit as you all are saying? Shit I emailed ccbill several times. I kept getting my emails I sent to them KIMMY KIM bouncing back to me! I finaly after 24 hours got the shit str8 with my accounts Something with my server was screwed up with sending emails, IT sucks because using a dedicated box I had to be the one to trouble shoot it fix and TO this day I dont know what I did to fix it. eh?

That is the reason I put it on gfy cause I knew kimmy kim read these boards. And for the phone thingy I DO NOT HAVE A PHONE!!!!! havent had one in 2 years lONG story but I will say I am not paying the phone bill from my exwife. So I have to wait till my cable company offers phone service which should be in the next month or so.


Have fun flaming and wondering about me. IT is nice to see books written to me about how I should send emails and what emails are I got a kick out of that. Very board people here :1orglaugh

off to work I go god went to hospital again last night found out the med's they gave were not working so my sinus infection is still bad but NOW I have two ear infections due to swimming. ARGH I feel so sorry for kids who get ear infections I DO NOT know how they can still play and run around with them damn things. IT knocks me on my phat ass :(

PEACE

What email address are you using? I don't seem to be having any problem getting mail from people today, especially the spammers. ;)

You're on my icq, why didn't you leave me a message on there?

[email protected] the email problem was on my server the sendmail program got all freaked out. Why I didnt icq um lol didn't think about it doh!@#

TOM

anyone see crank yankers last night? "I have mail, I have mail, I have mail, I have mail" rotfl.

Weird. I was checking this thread to see if I got a response to my last post - and it ain't here!

Va2k - I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I was making my comment with the expectaction that this post was unnecessary like many of the other so-called urgent 'contact me' messages. I figured that usually when two people have communicated, they have regular means (ICQ, Email, Phone) of getting ahold of each other.

Brad

Don't get upset Brad.... Everyone uses GFY to leave message for our staff too! We have phones, cell phones, email, ICQ... But people only want to contact us via GFY. Of course, this doesn't mention that Lightspeed Webmasters have their own board to post private messages on....

So, every morning I have to check our office voice mail, my cell phone voice mail, my email, staff email, ICQ, four message boards, plus our own message board..... It takes me an hour to check all of this....

DON'T USE GFY FOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S PROGRAMS..........

'nuff said.

:helpme I agree after reading everyones response I now know I was more goofy then before. Sorry guys You wont see this from me again. Alot of good points made here. Guess its called being lazy-- easier to ask on a huge board to have someone contact you then go looking for the contactee's info.

PEACE
TOM:thumbsup

Brad sir you didnt offened me you only stated the truth! I guess I felt stupider once seeing everyones post on how stupid it is to post as I did :) Thanks

TOM
