Composing & Reading Email

Reading an Email

1. Click any folder in the left panel (start with Inbox).
2. Click a message in the list to open it in the preview pane, or double-click to open it in a full window.
3. Use the toolbar to Reply, Reply All, Forward, or Delete the message.

Composing a New Email

1. Click the Compose button (pencil icon) in the top-left toolbar.
2. Fill in the To field with the recipient’s email address.
3. Add a Subject line.
4. Type your message in the body area.
5. Click Send when ready.

Additional Options

• CC / BCC — Click the CC or BCC labels to add additional recipients. Use BCC when emailing a large group to protect recipients’ privacy.
• Attachments — Click the paperclip icon or the Attach button to upload a file from your computer.
• HTML vs. Plain Text — Use the editor toggle to switch between a rich-text (HTML) editor and plain text. HTML allows formatting like bold, links, and lists.

Replying and Forwarding

• Reply — Responds only to the sender.
• Reply All — Responds to the sender and all other recipients.
• Forward — Sends the message to a new recipient.

Deleting Email

• Select one or more messages by checking the checkbox to the left of each.
• Click the Delete (trash) icon in the toolbar.
• Deleted messages move to the Trash folder and can be recovered from there until the trash is emptied.
• To permanently delete, open the Trash folder, select messages, and delete again — or use the Empty Trash option.
