In a previous tutorial from the How To section here on FindMySoft we guided you through the creating a new account with Gmail. It occurred to me that new Gmail users may have problems exploiting the email clients main function – the function of creating and sending out email messages. So I came up with this detailed ste-by-step tutorial that should take the guessing work out of composing and sending emails in Google’s Gmail.

Here is what you have to do to send an email in Gmail:

Step 1. Go to Gmail (click here – a new tab will open), enter your login credentials and click Sign in.

Step 2. In the upper left hand corner of the screen, right under the big Gmail logo there’s a link called Compose Mail. Click it.

Step 3. In the To section enter the email address of the person you want to send a message to. In the Subject section type in the title of the email. In the big white area underneath, type in your email’s message.

Step 4. When you are done click the Send button. There’s one at the top, next to the place you typed in the recipient’s email address. There’s another one at the bottom of the email text’s body.



Tips and warnings
As you type along you will notice that one more item will appear in Drafts. This is because Gmail automatically saves outgoing emails as you type. After you hit Send the saved email will be removed from Drafts.
If you do not want to send out the email right now, click Save Now. The email will be saved in Drafts. You can continue writing your email at a later time by accessing it in Drafts.
If you change your mind and want to drop an email, just click Discard.

Where you typed: "next to the place your typed in", you need to replace the YOUR with YOU, otherwise your tutorial was very welll done. May I suggest you add a new tutorial of how to add an attachment win Gmail? Also, if you type in a wrong website your message has: "Web site address is incorect!". The correct spelling is: "incorrect"
