Free Email TutorialsFree Email Tutorials is a free learning resource about email. All our high-quality, graphic-rich email tutorials are available without subscription or annoying popups. The core of our email tutorials covers popular email software applications ("email programs", or "email clients"), but more recent tutorials explain email-related topics like email hosting and email marketing, and our email tutorial, that are less dependent on the underlying mail client itself.
Our free email tutorials will explain how to use these email clients ("email programs"), from the basics (like setting up an email account (POP3/IMAP), sending and receiving mail) to more advanced topics, (like customizing your email program, efficiently managing your emails, creating email rules and filters…), and help you make the most of popular webmail services like Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, or Gmail, which can also be used from the Windows Live Mail desktop email client (useful since Microsoft phased out access to Hotmail from Outlook Express).
