If you've taken a break during this course closed your e-mail program and reopened it you may have noticed a message that you have new mail. Your e-mail program may retrieve messages when it sends messages . It is useful to set up the program to send queued messages when it checks for new mail. You can also check for mail manually by clicking an icon or selecting a command under a Pull-Down menu to check mail now. Checking e-mail is a matter of personal preference.
