Today, Mytour will guide you through the process of sending an email using Gmail. You can either use the Gmail website on your computer or the Gmail mobile app on your smartphone or tablet to send emails.
Steps
On a Computer
Open Gmail. Go to https://www.gmail.com/ using your computer's web browser. Your Gmail inbox will open if you're already logged in.
- If you aren't logged into Gmail, enter your email address and password when prompted.
Click on ＋ Compose (Compose) located at the top left of your Gmail inbox. A "New Message" window will appear at the bottom right corner of the page.
- If you're using the older version of Gmail, you need to click on COMPOSE here.
Enter the recipient's email address. Click on the "To" or "Recipients" text box at the top of the New Message window and type in the recipient's email address.
- To add multiple email addresses, enter the first email address, press the Tab ↹ key, and repeat the process for additional email addresses.
- If you want to CC or BCC someone, click on the Cc or Bcc link to the right of the "To" field and enter the email address in the respective "Cc" or "Bcc" field.
Add a subject. Click on the "Subject" text box and enter the text you want to use as the email's subject line.
- Typically, the subject line summarizes the main idea of the email in a few words.
Enter the email content. In the large text box below the "Subject" field, type the content of your email.
Format the email text if necessary. If you want to apply formatting to the text (e.g., bold, italic, or bullet points), highlight the text you want to format and click on one of the formatting options at the bottom of the email window.
- For example, to bold a section of text, highlight it and click the B option at the bottom of the email.
