You've Got Mail!

---

For computer users, one of life's little joys is to check their e-mail to see what messages they've received. Just like regular mail, it may only be ads and other junk, but there may be a surprise note from an old friend or some other goodies.

When you open your e-mail program, the first thing you will probably see is your Inbox. Different programs call it by different names; some refer to it as the New Mail screen. Regardless of what it's called, it lists the new messages you've received.

There are two basic types of e-mail programs:

• Multi-pane screens, where you click on a message name in the upper pane to read it in the lower pane;
• Single-pane screens, where you double-click a message to open it in a separate pane.

To read a message, just click or double-click on it, depending on the program type. The lower pane changes to display the message, or a separate window appears showing the message. If the message is long, there may be a scroll bar down the right side that you can use to move through the message.
