Creating and Sending Emails in Outlook

Key Concepts

To effectively create and send emails in Outlook, you need to understand the following key concepts:

Composing an Email

Composing an email in Outlook involves opening a new email window where you can input all the necessary details. To start, click on the "New Email" button located in the "Home" tab of the Ribbon. This action opens a blank email template where you can begin drafting your message.

Adding Recipients

Adding recipients is the process of specifying who will receive your email. In the "To" field, enter the email addresses of the primary recipients. You can also add additional recipients in the "Cc" (carbon copy) and "Bcc" (blind carbon copy) fields. The "Cc" field includes recipients who receive the email but are not the primary audience, while "Bcc" includes recipients whose email addresses are hidden from other recipients.

Subject Line

The subject line is a brief summary of the email's content. It helps recipients understand the purpose of the email at a glance. A well-crafted subject line should be concise, informative, and relevant to the content of the email. For example, "Meeting Agenda for Friday" is a clear and informative subject line.

Email Body

The email body is where you write the main content of your message. It should be clear, concise, and well-structured. Use paragraphs to organize your thoughts and bullet points for lists. For instance, if you are sending a meeting agenda, you might list each item in a bulleted format for easy reading.

Attachments

Attachments are files that you can include with your email. To add an attachment, click on the "Attach File" button in the Ribbon, then select the file you want to send. Attachments can be documents, images, or any other type of file. For example, if you are sending a report, you might attach the report file to the email.

Sending the Email

Once you have composed your email, added recipients, written the subject line, and included any necessary attachments, you are ready to send the email. Click on the "Send" button located in the Ribbon. This action sends the email to all the recipients specified in the "To," "Cc," and "Bcc" fields. After sending, the email is moved to your "Sent Items" folder for future reference.
