Creating Email Messages

 

 

From the Inbox view or from inside a message, you can create a new e-mail message or memo. Simply click the "New" button and select "Message" to open a blank e-mail message.

The “To:” field is for the primary recipient(s) of the message, the “cc:” is for people who should receive a copy of the message for information but don't usually need to respond.

The “bcc:” or blind copy field lists person(s) who will receive a copy; however, these addresses will be hidden from the people listed in the 'to:' and 'cc:' fields.

You can type the e-mail addresses you wish into the fields, separating them with commas, or use the address book function by clicking the "To:" button in the message to open the address book window:

• After the new window opens, choose the address book you want to use. At the top of the new window is a dropdown box labeled "Search for:"
• When you find the name you want, click on it once to highlight it, and click the 'to:', 'cc:' or 'bcc:' button to move the name into the respective field.
• If you need to remove a name from one of the fields, highlight the name, then click on the "Remove" button.

When you have all of the addresses in the proper fields, click the "OK" button. The window will close, and you'll find your new memo has all the addresses entered.

Click in the body of the message, and begin typing simple text into your message.
