Open and Close Mail

OS X includes the Apple Mail application to enable you to use an e-mail account to exchange and manage e-mail messages. E-mail is one of the most popular Internet services because it offers three main advantages: It is universal, fast, and convenient.

E-mail is universal because nearly anyone who can access the Internet has an e-mail address. E-mail is fast because messages are generally delivered within a few minutes. E-mail is convenient because you can send messages at any time of day, and your recipient does not need to be at the computer or connected to the Internet. Before you can send or receive e-mail messages, you must know how to start the Mail application.
