Please tell us when you have completed Lesson One. Starting with Lesson Two we will be sending you email messages to work with as you go through the lessons. If any messages were retrieved when you go went through Lesson One ignore them for now. They will stay there until you take an action to move or delete them. These steps will be covered later.

Contact us on any mail problems. It is important that you feel comfortable handling and managing electronic mail.
