Copy text from a message
You can copy text from messages you receive, so you can paste it into a message you compose or into text
fields in other applications.
Open a message and scroll the text you want to copy into view. See “Reading your messages”.
Press Menu and touch More > Select text.
Use your finger to drag across the text you want to copy.
The text you selected is copied to the clipboard. You can now use the techniques described in “Editing text” to paste
the copied text into a message you compose or into a text field in another application.
Reread a message
When you open a conversation, messages that you’ve already read are hidden in a tab that indicates the number of
hidden messages.
Touch the tab that indicates the number of previously read messages. The tab expands into tabs that list the sender
and the first line of each read message.
Touch an expanded tab to reread the message.
When reading a message or when its tab is selected, you can press Menu and touch Mark unread to return a read
message to the unread state—for example, to remind yourself to read it again later.
Compose and send a message
You can compose and send a message to one or more people or groups with Gmail or other email addresses. When
viewing the Inbox or other list of conversations, press Menu and touch Compose.
Set the address you want to send the email from.
The Gmail account you are sending the email from is displayed at the top
of the screen. If you have more than one Gmail account, you can touch the
displayed account to pick the one you want to send the message from.
Address the message.
Enter a subject for the message.
Enter the text of the message.
Touch the Send icon.
If you’re not ready to send the message, touch the Menu and Save
Draft icon instead. You can read your drafts by opening messages with
the Draft label. See “Viewing conversations by label”.
You can also press Menu and touch Discard to abandon the message,
including any saved drafts.
If you aren’t connected to a network—for example, if you’re working in
Airplane mode—the messages that you send are stored on your phone
with the Outbox label until you connect to a network again.
