Overview
Mail is more than just an email sending and receiving application. You can manage and track messages, guard against spam, and even create Smart Folders that automatically do the organizational work for you. Mac OS X Mail also features Spotlight technology so you can find your email messages instantly and accurately. Here are some of the things you can do in Mail.

| Viewing Your Mail |
|
| Messages |
Mail displays your Inbox, Drafts, and Sent mail in a column on the left side of the window; the Message Viewer pane is on its right. To view mail in your Inbox, select Inbox to display a list of all your messages. If you have more than one email account set up, you can also click the Inbox disclosure triangle to display each account and select one to view only its messages.
To read a message, either double-click an entry to view the message in its own window, or drag the small dot at the bottom center of the window upwards to reveal a message pane and select a message to view it in the pane. |

| Junk Mail |
| If you're getting a lot of junk mail, also called "spam," use the Junk Mail features in Mail. Junk mail filtering is on by default, but you can change how Mail deals with your unwanted email after it goes through a little training period. |

| To connect to network services like a file server you will use the user as desktop computers do. lastname_firsname. |

| New Emails |
- To send someone an email, click the New button to open a New Message Window.
- Type your recipient's email address in the To field. If you have this person in your Address Book or if you've sent or received email from this person before, Mail will autocomplete the address as you type it. To address the message to more than one person, separate the email addresses with a comma.
- If you want to send a copy of your message to others, type their email addresses in the CC field.
- Type a subject for your message in the Subject field.
- Type your message in the text box.
- If you'd like to send an attachment with your message, like a photo or other files, click the Attach button, navigate to and select the file in the resulting dialog, and click Choose File. You can also drag the file to the message window's text box.
- Click Send to send your message.
