You can write a new email message while working “off-line”,
then save it to a Local folder on your netBook so you can send it
when you next connect. You can save messages in the Draft
folder if you want to edit them before sending, or save them in
the Outbox folder if you want to send them when you next
connect.
Note: You do not need to be connected to your email account
(Remote mailbox) to prepare, read and respond to messages; the
only time you need to connect is when you wish to send or
receive messages.
To write a new email:
1. Tap the New button on the Toolbar and select Email,or
use the command on the Message menu. Email displays the
“message editor ” in which you can write your message.
2. To enter the email address(es) of the recipients of your
message, use the following lines:
• To: main recipient(s) of your message.
• CC: recipient(s) you want to send a “carbon copy”ofthe
message to.
• BCC: recipients you want to send a “blind carbon copy”of
the message to.
Note: You can insert an address from your Contacts address
book by tapping Address on the Toolbar, or using the command
on the Edit menu.
3. Type in the title of your message on the Subject line.
4. Type in your message at the bottom of the screen (under
the subject).
• You can use the commands on the Edit menu to copy, move
and find text.
• You can check the spelling in your message before saving it
by tapping on the Spell button on the Toolbar or by using
the command on the Tools menu.
5. You can send files with your email, e.g. a Word or Sheet
document, by adding them as “attachments”. To do this, tap
the Attachments button on the Toolbar and select Add.
See ‘Attaching files to messages’ later.
Can I include text formatting or pictures in a message?
No. You can only use plain unformatted text in email messages, but
you can attach files to the email containing formatted text and
pictures.
