Addressing an Email

Webmail includes several tools to help you address your email.

Address Auto-Complete

As you type a name or email address in the To, Cc, or Bcc box, webmail will attempt to complete the address with a matching address from your contact list. Use your arrow keys to select a suggested match, and then press the 'Tab' (or 'Enter/Return') key on your keyboard.

Contacts

You can select contacts from your contact list by clicking the 'To', 'Cc', or 'Bcc' links, located to the left of the 'To', 'Cc', and 'Bcc' boxes.

Frequent Contacts

You can have quick access to your frequently used contacts by adding them to the Frequent Contacts box.

To add a contact to the Frequent Contacts box:

• Click the 'Contacts' tab.
• Click the 'Edit Contact' link for the contact. Or, click the 'Add Contact' button to create a new contact.
• Click the 'Add to Frequent Contacts' checkbox.
• Click the 'Save' button.

Note: To display or hide the Frequent Contacts box, select Settings / Composing Email. Check or clear the 'Display the Frequent Contacts box' checkbox.

Sender/Recipient Name Links

When you are viewing an email, you can click any name listed in the From, To, or Cc area to open a new Compose Email window, addressed to that person.

Resending an Email

1. To resend an email, click the 'Sent' folder, located in the folder list.
2. Select or open the email you want to resend.
3. Click the 'Re-Send Email' link.
4. Make changes to the email, as desired.
5. Click the 'Send' button.

Saving or Editing a Draft

As you are composing an email, webmail will automatically save a draft of the email in the Drafts folder.

• If you decide you do not want to send the email, and you want to delete the draft, click the 'Delete Draft' link, located in the lower right corner.
• If you do not have time to finish composing your email, click the 'Save as Draft' link before closing the Compose Email window to save the latest version of the email.

To edit a draft, open the 'Drafts' folder, and then double-click the draft. Or, select the draft, and then click the 'Resume Draft' link.

Indicating Email Priority

By default, an email's priority is set to Normal. When you are composing an email, you can click the Priority drop-down menu to assign a normal, high, or low priority.

This will not affect how your email is sent or received; it simply acts as a visual indicator that the email is a high, normal, or low priority item.

Requesting a Read Receipt

Read Receipts display a confirmation request when recipients open your email. You will receive an email confirmation as each recipient opens and confirms receipt of your email.
To attach a return receipt to an email you are composing, click the 'Request a Read Receipt' checkbox, located below the addressing area of the Compose Email window.

Note: Not all email programs support this feature, and recipients can also ignore or refuse to send a confirmation receipt.

Attaching a File

1. To attach a file to an email you are composing, click the 'Browse' button, located beside the 'Attach' box.



2. Locate and select the file you want to attach.
3. Click the 'Open' button. The attached file name will appear in the 'Attach' box.

Note: To remove an attachment, click once on the attachment, and then press the 'Delete' key on your keyboard.

Using HTML Format

When you use the HTML editing format for creating your email, you have access to advanced formatting tools. For example, you can use a variety of fonts and colors and create bulleted and numbered lists.

To switch between HTML and Plain Text formatting while you are composing an email, click the 'HTML View' and 'Plain Text View' links. Note that HTML formatting information is not retained if you switch to Plain Text View while composing an email.

Note: Composing in HTML is not available in Safari.

Checking Spelling

When you are composing an email, click the 'Spell Check' link. Possible spelling errors will appear in red.

• Click once on the word and select from a list of possible spelling corrections.
• Or, select 'Edit' to correct the spelling error manually.
• To add a word to the dictionary, select 'Add to Dictionary'.
• To change the dictionary language, click the 'Language' drop-down menu and select a language.
• To exit the spell checker, click the 'Exit Spell Check' link.
