Answer

it's a common conjunction showing that A action was done before B action.
without conjunction: 藤岡は出かけるじゅんびをします。それから、メールを見ます。
after having the preparation made, i will read the e-mail/message.

Answer

して = finish something first, then after doing next thing

In this case、 藤岡さんはfinish ready to go out, then after checking e-mail.
