This link will take you to a website with a good article by Kaitlin Sherwood. Sherwood has written three books on how to Overcome Email Overload with Edorora 5, Outlook 2000, and Outlook 2002. The site is essentially about effective email techniques for the beginner.
This site mainly deals with the guidelines of setting out/formatting emails messages. There is a side menu where you can choose and click to a particular subject in the article, and if you wish you are able contact the author, with any queries you may have, via a email address supplied at the bottom of the page . The site has also been translated into German, Indonesian , and Chinese for those people with English as a second language. I found the content useful as it covers some subjects which are often neglected by other HELP sites. I would recommend this site to a beginner, as I found it interesting, but they must keep in mind that these are the authors ideas only, there may be other users who may disagree with some of the content.

This is a Victorian Government website, the website is primarily to teach novice users the Internet. But the section dedicated to email is concise and easily understood, it covers every feature of the email medium, from an explanation of what electronic mail is to the use of emoticons and acronyms, it has all the information for the absolute beginner to intermediate user. There are menu links to much more information about other types of communication media. This site seems to cover it all with the design and layout that is pleasing to the eye and easy to follow, with a well written content. I highly recommend this site to anyone starting out using this type of medium.
