Creating and sending a message with Microsoft Outlook Express can be as simple as typing an e-mail address, a subject, and a message, and then clicking Send Now. You can send a message as soon as you finish writing it, or you can save the message in your Outbox and send it the next time you connect to the Internet. You can also work on the message for as long as you want and store it in the Drafts folder until you are ready to send it.
In Outlook Express, you can also assign a priority level to a message; for example, to indicate to recipients that a message is very important, you can assign a priority level of "high" or "highest." When you assign a priority level, a priority symbol appears next to the message in the Message list.
Unless you specify otherwise, Outlook Express automatically sends new messages from your default mail account. If you prefer to send a message from a different account, click the name of the account on the From pop-up menu in the message window.
