This assignment can be done after completing the Computer Based Tutorial on Pine. The tutorial is available only in the University Micro Computing Labs. Use Pine to perform the following electronic mail exercises. The objective of this assignment is to gain experience with basic elements of electronic mail. Although Pine is designed for beginning users it is certainly a usable form of communication for any computer user.
Folders are a convenient means of collecting messages in unique groups.
E-mail addresses and names are case sensitive in Pine. The Address Book keeps a list of E-mail addresses for you so you don't have to remember them. The complete e-mail address is then supplied automatically by Pine. This is a bit different than the recommended traditional form of entering a name, but it does demonstrate that almost anything can be inserted for a name. Before proceeding, re-read this step's instructions to make certain you have them correct.
