Adding Attachments.
Almost any type of file can be attached and sent over the Internet along with your email.
To add an attachment, first start an email (or reply to one you
received), and then click on the button bearing the picture of a
paperclip, at the top right of the email panel. This will open a
Finder window, allowing you to navigate to the file or files that
you want to send. Select the ones you want, then click Choose
File to attach them.
In Mail, pictures you’ve included as attachments are shown in
the body of the email for convenient viewing. This means you
can turn your email into a mini-illustrated article if you want; or,
if you don’t want to display it as an attachment, click on it and
from the contextual menu, choose Show as Icon. It can still be
opened by the recipient.Receiving Email.
When you receive an email in your inbox, this is how
you open and read it using the macOS Mail app.Once you’ve set up your email account, you can send
and receive email. As soon as you launch Mail, it
connects to your email service and collect any email that
is waiting for you. These messages are shown as a list in
your Inbox. Click on one and it’s displayed on the right.While Mail is running, it periodically checks the server for
new messages. You can also prompt Mail to look at the
server immediately by clicking the button in the top left of
the screen that looks like an envelope.Replying to & Forwarding Email
If someone you know sends you an email, you’ll probably want
to reply to them. Simply click on the email so you are viewing
the text of it, then at the top of the screen you’ll find a row of
three buttons. The leftmost one has a single left-pointing arrow
on it. This is the Reply button.If you click on this you’ll see a window pop up that looks a lot
like the window for a new email, but it will have the responder’s
email address already in the To: box.Next to the Reply button is a similar button with two left arrows
on it. This is the Reply All button; use this with extreme care. If
you have been sent an email that has also been sent to a
number of other recipients, hitting Reply All will send your reply
to everyone who received the original mail. Obviously if your
reply was meant to be private this is a very bad idea, and has
got many people into trouble.The rightmost button of these three is the Forward button,
which is used to send an email you’ve received to another
recipient. Forwarding emails is another thing that requires care;
make sure that you don’t accidentally send private information
to someone who was not meant to receive it.//AppleUserMAGAZINE
