Course Content.
- Understand email better.
Get a better of idea of where emails are stored, how it all works, different ways to access emails. Find out how your email is sent through ‘thin air’!
- Overcome common problems.
Such as “Why didn’t my email send?”, ‘Where has my email disappeared to?’ ‘This computer is different to what I am used to’, and more.
- Completely master attachments.
We’ll practice attaching music, video clips, text documents, or a variety of different things attached to one email. Also we will learn great tips for tracking down the picture or file which you want to attach! And anything else you want to know about attachments.
- Privacy and spam.
Make sure your email is not at risk in any way, and learn how to make sure you are not receiving too many junk emails.

- Make emails look pretty.
Try out different coloured text in your emails, highlighting text, using bullet points, making text bigger and smaller, using different fonts and text styles.
- Taking it further.
Get to grips with forwarding, emailing multiple recipients, reply to all and other useful techniques.
- Get under the bonnet.
Learn how to change the settings to suit you! – the way your inbox looks, the size of the text on the screen, how to ‘label’ emails to make your inbox more easy to keep track of.
- Any questions.
If we are making good progress, we can cover any aspects of email people are baffled by, or keen to learn more about. That way everyone can impress their ‘email contacts’ by sending fantastic messages all around the globe from the comfort of The Lawns!

Who it’s for.
- It’s for Agewell beginners who already know a bit about email, but sometimes still get stuck or even baffled. So that means not absolute beginners, but also not people who have been using email for years. Most Agewellers are in between, so we expect most Agewellers to be interested.
- Also, you should be able to commit yourself to those five Tuesday afternoons from 2.30 to 5 pm.
