Introduction: I've got all the requirements to do the tasks for E-Mail basics IE e-mail address and software.
E-Mail Basics: Address
The user name and domain name are two elements that are essential for an e-mail to be sent from the sender to the receiver.
The activity to search peoples e-mail addresses proved to be quite difficult. 'Lyco's and Yahoo people search' were not very helpful as they were USA based search engines.
I tried the following search engines for Australia:

I found it very difficult to search E-mail addresses. The reason why it's hard is because of the information required to start the search, such as full names, addresses, phone numbers etc.
The conclusion I reached from this exercise is that it's best to get e-mail addresses from people by just asking them!
E-Mail Basics: Messages
I have this set up - pop quiz was easy.
E-Mail Basics: Attaching Files
Attaching files is a great way of sending pictures and information. I learnt that the ASCII files can be read by anyone that may not have the appropriate software to open the files being sent.
E-Mail Basics: Managing Your E-Mail
I've had to use this facility quite a lot lately due to all the junk e-mails that are being sent to my e-mail address. Most of the mail are repetitive and have the same content. By blocking the senders e-mail address and creating rules to send all junk e-mails to the 'junk' e-mail folder, I've noticeably been able to reduce the junk e-mails.
E-Mail Basics: Signatures
'COOLSIG' - what a great site! I suppose it's easy enough to have signatures at the end of every e-mail, however I think it would be more appropriate to call it a 'disclaimer' instead of a 'signature'.
For Example:
E-mails should be treated with the aim of respecting the receiver. In many instances, it is not only the receiver that may end up viewing or reading the e-mail that is sent to him/her - especially in a work enviroment.
It is also easy enough to click a few buttons and 'forward' messages, especially jokes and pictures. But is this real communication or just a nuisance for the receiver? Personally, I consider anyone who only 'forwards' jokes and pictures to me as a junk e-mailer. Without the aim of offending people, I always send them e-mail asking them to delete me from their e-mail adress book.

For Example:
'This message and its attachments are confidential and may contain information which is protected by copyright. It is intended solely for the named addressee. If you are not the authorised recipient (or responsible for delivery of the message to the authorised recipient), you must not use, disclose, print, copy or deliver this message or its attachments to anyone. If you receive this email in error, please contact the sender immediately and permanently delete this message and its attachments from your system.E-Mail Basics: Mail Etiquette
Any content of this message and its attachments that does not relate to the official business of .... or its subsidiaries must be taken not to have been sent or endorsed by any of them. No representation is made that this email or its attachments are without defect or that the contents express views other than those of the sender.'
