Sending a New Email
1
Here we show you how to open a new, blank email, write
a message and send it to a given email address using
the Mac’s Mail app. To send a new email, click on the button in
the top left corner of the screen, with a picture on it that looks
like a pen writing on paper.2
To send someone an email, type their email address into
the box marked To:. To also send it to someone else,
add their email address in the Cc: box. Add multiple email
addresses in either box, separated by commas, to send the
same message to a group of people.3
It’s always a good idea to put something in the subject
line, even if it’s just ‘Hello!’. Type the body of your
message in the large space below. An email can be as long as
you like and you can use different fonts, colours and sizes if
you really feel the need.4
Once you’ve finished typing your letter, click the Send
button in the top left corner of the email panel to send it
on its way. Email is usually sent very quickly, and your
addressee should receive it within a couple of minutes, as long
as there are no issue with their connection or provider.Customising Mail.
You can customise your Mail app by opening it and, in the Mail
pull-down menu, selecting Preferences. Under the General tab,
you can set an interval to check for new messages, decide
where downloaded attachments go and more.The Fonts & Colours tab lets you change the fonts and text
size used with incoming emails and change the colours of
quoted text. Explore the Mail preferences and set up how you
choose, but be careful with the server settings.AppleUserMAGAZINE //
