1. Launch Internet Explorer and launch and open your e-mail account. Under Favorites, you will find links for Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc. I will demonstrate Hotmail but they are all basically the same. Click here for directions to use your LACC e-mail account.
2. In Hotmail, click the Compose tab.
3. In the To box, type my e-mail address of azimmerly@comcast.net.
4. In the CC or Copy box, type your e-mail address so that you can save a copy of this e-mail unless your software automatically saves sent files.
5. In the Subject box, type your first and last name, and NW for new work.
6. For purposes of this tutorial only, attach the Export file. (Normally, you would just upload this to the Student Web Site.) Click the Add/Edit Attachments button.
7. Follow the directions there and attach the *.EXP export file that you saved on the Desktop. (1. Click Browse to select the file, or type the path to the file in the box below. 2. Move the file to the Attachments box by clicking Attach. Click OK.).
8. Click Send to send the e-mail and attachment.
9. Save all e-mails from me until you are sure your grades are properly recorded and you have finished completely with an assignment.
10. To reply to an e-mail from me, open the e-mail and click the Reply button. Be sure that the original message is part of the reply.

Note: When you enroll in any class at LACC, you are automatically assigned an e-mail account. Your LACC e-mail address begins with your userID (also known as your alias) followed by userid@email2.lacitycollege.edu

The userID is composed of:

1. First 2 letters of your first name;
2. First 2 letters of your last name;
3. Last 5 digits of your student identification number.

Accordingly, a student named John Smith with a student identification number of 123-45-6789 would have a userID of josm56789. His e-mail address would be josm56789@email2.lacitycollege.edu You might want to copy and paste @email2.lacitycollege.edu into the Email Address field and then add your user ID in front.
