E-mail

Email basics
You will already be aware of how to set up a personal e-mail account and send an email but there is a number of functions within your email account that may not be quite as simple.

Send email: You can send the e-mail by typing your intended recipient's email address into the “to” field.

What is cc?

The cc field allows you to send a "carbon copy" of your email to additional recipients. Input the email address of the person you want to send a copy of the email to into the "cc" field under the "to" field.

What is Bcc?

Bcc is a "Blind carbon copy".  If you would like to send an e-mail to many people and you do not want them to see who else has received this email; put their email addresses in the “Bcc”. This should be used during mail merges as you should not share the addresses of others with third parties.

Google is one of the most innovative IT companies today. Google has many great applications, such as a translator function, Google maps and an e-mail service.

You can easily get access to all of these great applications; all you need is a Gmail account.
