Composing an e-mail message

Compose an e-mail by clicking an e-mail address link anywhere in Group-Office, the compose window will then be opened. Or alternatively simply click the ‘Compose’ button in the top bar of the e-mail module.

A new window will open in which the e-mail can be composed. Firstly, the receivers should be specified. To select an e-mail recipient from an address book click the “To:”, “CC:” or “BCC:” buttons.

"To" is the address / are the addresses to which the e-mail should be sent. Addresses are comma separated.

“CC” stands for carbon copy, in this field the addresses should be selected of all the contacts that need a copy of the e-mail. Note that, the receiver can see to whom you send a copy.

“BCC” stands for Blind Carbon Copy, this field is the same as carbon copy however the recipient will not see which addresses have been selected in this field.

Next, fill in the subject line and you can now start composing the body of your e-mail. With the format button it is possible to change the current format from HTML to text. Text is without any text format, for example bold, italic etc. but is supported by all e-mail clients. HTML has all text format options and is supported by every regular e-mail client.

In case you have defined templates for your e-mail messages then you must select a template for your message.

 

Attachments

By clicking the attachment button, it’s possible to attach a file to the e-mail, from either the local harddisk of your pc or the online files in group office.
