In today’s
telecommuting world with use of a computer, we can keep in touch with family,
friends, and co-workers through a useful source, which is e-mail. E-mail is a
service that is provided online which you can use for a tool of communication
to either keep in touch with others or send documents and important updates to
companies or schools. E-mail is very useful and can provide many ways of keeping connected with others. E-mails provide many different functions such as:
1.
Calendar
(to schedule appointments and important daily tasks)
2.
Storing
multiple contacts
3.
Reminders
4.
Sending

5.
Adding
attachments to email messages such as a document or pictures
6.
Creating
notes

There are many ways
that e-mail can improve your life and make your everyday tasks easier. I use
e-mail every day to keep in touch with family members and friends. I also use e-mail
for homework and an organizer to sort my tasks in a calendar. Having a
calendar within your e-mail can be very useful because your e-mail contacts
can see what days you are available to take part in certain activities
throughout the day.

Some e-mail servers
that you can use would be, Microsoft Outlook, Google mail (G-mail), Yahoo mail,
and msn. E-mail is a common service that will keep you organized, on task,
aware, and in the loop of what is going on when you are not available. E-mail
is a very good source for keeping your life organized and keeping you up-to-date with the latest news and info that might be happening in your everyday
life.

I have learned a lot of new things after reading your blog. Your tips are very useful for everyday life. I have even set up a Skype account. In one of your posts you mention Power Point, I really like that program. I use it for work, school, and even at home. I made a Power Point for one of my friend's wedding. She loved it so much. When she was having a birthday party for her mom, she asked me to make another one. I look forward to reading more of your posts, they are very informative.
