How do I write and send a message?
A new message is prepared in a window: the recipient, the subject, the text, then Envoyer (Send).
Step by step
In Mail, click the red pencil Nouveau message (New message) at the top of the message list.
On the À (To) line, in the Destinataires (Recipients) field, type the first letter of the person’s name: ArkiaSuite suggests your contacts and the people you have already exchanged e-mails with. Click the right address, or type it out in full.
In Objet (Subject), write in a few words what the message is about.
Click in the big Votre message… (Your message…) box and write your text.
Click Envoyer (Send). « Message envoyé » (Message sent) appears at the bottom right: it’s on its way.
Good to know
- A suggested address you no longer want (an old one, a mistake)? The little cross at the end of its line, « Ne plus proposer cette adresse » (Stop suggesting this address), removes it from the list.
- The bar above the text formats your words (bold, color, lists) and adds links. The little face at the end adds an emoji 🙂.
- If you have several mailboxes, the « De : » (From:) line at the top of the window shows which address the message will be sent from.
- Your signature is added automatically at the bottom of the message, if you have one.
- The Ctrl + Shift + N shortcut opens a new message from anywhere.
