To reply to an email:

  2. On the menu above the email, click either:

    2. Reply all, if you want to send an email to the sender and everyone else who received the same email.

Forwarding an email

To forward and email:

  1. Open the email you want to reply to;
  2. On the menu above the email, click Forward.

From the small arrow next to the button you can select whether to forward the email inline or as an attachment.


Adding recipients

You can add recipients to your email by typing them to the To field. As you type you’ll see suggestions from saved contacts.

Alternatively, you can open the Address Book from the right side of the recipients field, select the contact(s) and click on Insert.

From the + button next to the Address Book button, you can also add CC, BCC, Reply-to and Followup-to recipients.
