Email is a fast, cheap, convenient communication medium. In fact, these days, anyone who doesn’t have an email address is considered some kind of freak.
If you do have an email address or two, you’ll be happy to discover that macOS includes Mail, a program that lets you get and send email messages without having to wade through a lot of spam (junk mail). Mail is a surprisingly complete program, filled with shortcuts and surprises around every turn.
(In macOS Sierra, the biggest surprise of all might be how efficient it can be to control Mail by voice, using Siri [Chapter 8]. You can both read and compose emails by voice; let the examples in Tip be your guide.)
