Email on Windows
Use Outlook or Gmail in a browser.
1. Outlook app
The new Outlook is built into Windows 11. Click Start, search Outlook.
2. Gmail in a browser
Visit gmail.com. Sign in. Bookmark the page for quick access.
3. Compose
Click New mail or Compose. Add the email address, subject, and message.
4. Attach files
Click the paper-clip icon. Pick the file from your folders. It uploads with the message.
5. Spam folder
Check the spam or junk folder once a week. Real messages sometimes land there.
6. Phishing warnings
If a sender asks for a password, ignore it. Real banks never email you a sign-in form.
Hover (don't click) over a link to preview where it goes. Suspicious URLs are easy to spot.
