Abstract
Email is a crucial communication tool and everyone who uses it should have a good understanding of the email program that they use to send and receive email. In some cases this will be built into their dental system software and for others it may be a web-based email account using the Internet Explorer web browser. In this section we look at the workings of the most popular standalone program, Outlook Express, and discuss good email practice for home and work.
