  2. To field: You enter the recipient’s email address here.
  3. Subject line: This is where you type the message’s subject.
  4. Message body section: Here you actually compose your message.
  5. Send icon: Tap this icon to send the message.
  6. Attach icon: Tap this icon to add an attachment to the message.
  7. Close icon: Tap this icon to cancel the message instead of send it.
  8. Speak icon: Use this icon to verbally compose a message.
  9. Menu icon: Flick this icon upward to access a menu with access to the CC, Blind CC, and Priority options.

Writing a Message

You can compose a new message by opening the mailbox you want to use and following these steps:

  4. Delete: The message is deleted without saving a draft copy.

Adding Message Attachments

  1. Tap the Remove link just beneath the attachment.
  2. When Windows asks if you want to remove the attachment, tap Yes.

  1. From the message composition screen, Tap the Menu icon.
  2. Tap Priority.
