To compose a new E-mail message, click on the Compose Message icon on the Outlook Express icon bar.
In the New Message Window, type the E-mail address of the person that you are sending this message to, or click on the address book icon to insert a name from your Address Book (see Address Book series). Type in a Subject, and type your note in the space provided.
When complete, click the Send Button . This action will place the message in your Outbox*, but does not actually send the mail yet.
To send the message to your recipient, you need to click on the Send & Receive Button in the main Outlook Express window.
*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.
