Emails - Functions

Emails are pretty easy to use.  Everything is right there.  For instance, to start an email, a "create email" or "compose email" button is available.  To reply and forward emails, "reply" and "forward" buttons are available.  To save an attachment, right clicking on the attachment offers a "save" option.  A clearly defined subject line should always be used.  This helps in identifying the nature of the email and helps when searching for emails.  Emails can be filed in folders you create.  In Google, a "more actions" button makes it easy to move them to the desired folder.  Google email has details available.  You can check the time the email was sent or received and show the full email address.


Adding attachments is easy.  Using the "add attachment" button, you get the opportunity to browse file on your computer.  You simply go to the document, photo, video or whatever item you want to attach and then double click on it.  It automatically gets attached to your email.  If you don't want to send an email right away, you can save it.  Various formatting tools are available also.

I receive many emails at work.  Sometimes it is frustrating, but it is convenient to be able to retrieve emails when I have to go back to them.  Frequently my manager asks me to retrieve certain emails.  I have become quite a pro at archiving my emails and recalling whatever it is she needs.

First Google Doodle
Did you know . . . the first Google doodle was used as an "out of office."  Now we enjoy the ever evolving Google doodles on the home page.  Google techies were going to be out of the office to attend a "burning man" festival in Nevada in 1998.  The first Google doodle was used to let other employees know they'd be away.  (http://mashable.com/2010/06/19/10-google-facts/)
