On the To: line of the New Message window, type in the E-mail address of the person that you are sending this E-mail to, or click on the address book icon  to insert a name from your Address Book (see Address Book series). On the Subject line, type in a subject for this e-mail message, and in the space below, type your message. When completed, click the Send Icon  . This action will place this message in your Outbox* but DOES NOT actually send the mail to your recipient yet.

*Many people ask why there is an "Outbox". The Outbox is really designed for people who use a dial-up modem. The idea is that you can write a bunch of e-mail messages, put them in your Outbox, then send them all at once. This way, you don't have to go "online" to send each individual message. Of course, with Road Runner, the Outbox is somewhat moot because you're always online.
