No, his biggest problem was addressing emails such as: 'Auntie
Sue' (i.e., spaces in the name, no domain.extension). Just basic email
operations, like if you don't click 'Send/Receive' your emails stay in
the outbox, if you don't have valid recipients you can't send, how do
you handle bounces, etc.
That's why I like your idea that they get their address early on, so
they can practice email throughout the six weeks. That way, by the end
of the class, I think they'll be much more 'fluent' in using email.
Here's a what-if: maybe we assign them a gmail account their first week.
If they make it through week five, we set them up with a
@stlouis.missouri.org address (so they can get online) -- but there's no
saying that they *have* to use that for email, right? Just a notion ...
