Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews, today I'm going to tell you how to get Windows mail to work with wireless internet. Let's go to our computer screen. And the first thing we're going to want to check is first of all that we are connected to the internet. Basically make sure that you have an icon down here that says you're connected to a wireless connection, this is, it's called Tims here, and it has that little globe on it which is telling me that we are connected to the internet. That's what that globe means. I go to connect to a network, you can see here that these are the wireless networks that are available. And you can tell how good a signal that you have for each of those wireless networks. So now that we have verified that we are connected wirelessly, let's open up Windows mail, by clicking on our start button, go to all programs, let's find Windows Live, and we're just going to launch Windows Live mail. Now, I don't have any accounts currently set up in Windows Live mail so I'm going to set one up. What I'm going to do is I'm going to hold the alt key on my keyboard, and I'm going to press T, and that brings up the tools menu. From there I'm going to click on accounts. Now, I'm going to create a new account just by saying add. It's going to be an email account. And then I'm going to type in my email address here. As well as the password for my email address. And what I would like it to appear as in the Windows Live mail screen. Now, as you can see, I have a Gmail account now set up in Windows Live. And if I close this screen that allows me to set up accounts, there is my Gmail account right there. It's my default account. It says Gmail and it's followed by my email address. I click on my inbox, I don't currently have any emails in there. So let's do a send and receive. And then go to new to make sure that we can send an email. Let's just send an email to somebody, just by clicking on send. Now, down here it says it's sending mail and that email went through just fine. My name is Dave Andrews and I've just showed you how to connect Windows Mail over a wireless internet connection."
