Here's how to control your in-box and spiff up your messages in AOL, Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, and Hotmail and other Web-based e-mail services.

  

It's hard to remember how we ever managed without e-mail, with its effortless sending, the instant gratification of a prompt response, the ease of attaching large documents, and not having to worry about the right postage. And because e-mail also encourages brief, off-the-cuff messages, we're now in touch with long-lost high school friends and second cousins, twice removed--those people we wouldn't otherwise have time to write.

But with the convenience come the headaches. We start signing up for newsletters and we make our presence known on different parts of the Internet. And voilà, in no time our in-box fills up with junk we have no time to sort out, let alone read.

Things will only get worse as Internet use continues to increase and spammers' tools for finding your address and demographic profile grow more sophisticated.

But no matter what e-mail program you use, you can cut both the clutter and the time it takes to read and send messages. We've assembled 75 tips to help you master a dozen tasks in America Online, Eudora, Outlook 2000, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, and even free Web-based e-mail services. And for those times when you want to send a quickie message without bothering with e-mail, we offer an introduction to Instant Messaging.
