Sending Email Using Gmail Account:
When you first create gmail account, you will be automatically signed in. However, I will recommend that you always sign in to your account and sign out when you’re done with it. Signing out is very important, especially if you’re using a shared computer, such as computers in library, hospital, office etc, because signing out prevents others from viewing your emails.
Signing in to Your Gmail Account:
Signing in gives you access to your account. This also makes Gmail identifies you as the real owner of the account. It is simply providing your email address (example, someone@gmail.com) and password in the signing in form. To sign in, follow these steps:
Note: Make sure you have internet connection.
Step 1: Open your favorite browser and type www.gmail.com in the address bar, then hit Enter key on your keyboard.
Step 2: Type your username (your email address) and click next.
Step 3: Type your password, then click Sign in.
Compose and Send Email:
The reason for creating email is to send messages. To start conversation, follow this steps:
Step 1: Click on compose button at the top-right corner.
Step 2: Type the address of the recipient in the To field.
Step 3: Type the title of the message in the Subject field.
Step 4: Type the message in the body, this is the widest area between the Subject field and Send button.
Step 5: Read and make correction of possible typing errors. Then click Send button to send your mail.
Hooray! You make it!!
Now you realize that sending email is simple. As I told you earlier, whenever you finish what you are doing with your email account you should sign out. So, let’s sign out to keep our account safe from unauthorized access.
