Using Email
One of the first things I do Each morning is to Check my email. I Open the email Program on my computer and I Check for new Messages. It usually takes only a few seconds for my new messages to Download from the Server into my Inbox unless there’s a large Attachment. I can then Click onto each new message to read it.
I Reply to messages or Forward them to someone else. The important messages I save by putting them into one of my Mailboxes. The unimportant ones I just Delete.
I really hate getting Spam. Luckily, my email program allows me to set up Filters so that spam messages are put into a separate mailbox automatically. I usually Scan the messages to make sure real messages weren’t put into the mailbox by mistake and then I put them in the Trash.
I don’t know What I would do without email, but I’m Constantly checking it for new messages. I’m not sure if it’s a Blessing or a Curse. I Suppose it’s both.
