Course Description:  Windows 7 is the most recent upgrade from Windows XP and Windows Vista.  However, it arrived without an email client like Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista).  However, Microsoft provides an email client program located on its website called Windows LIVE Mail, which can be downloaded and installed free from the Microsoft website.  This course teaches you how to find that download and how to set up an account, transfer your contacts, and use the program to send/receive email, attach documents/pictures, organize folders, and adjust the way your email looks as it arrives and leaves your email program.  We are teaching the newest version, released in 2011, which utilizes a ribbon instead of a menu bar for commands and functions. We highly recommend that you enroll in The Ribbon class after you complete the Windows LIVE Mail class.
