How to Use Your Windstream.net Email

How do I compose a new message?

When you log into your email, on the left side of your screen, you will see a Mail tab. Below that, you’ll see “New Message.” Click this and a new message will come up. Compose away! You can also save your message as a draft and check spelling. If you click on Options, you can make your email a high priority or request a read receipt.

Can I be in control of how I view my messages?

Yes! In the upper right corner, you will see View. Here, you can select to group and sort your messages as you want.
