Composing a Message

 

When you need to send a message, clicking Compose will open a window that will allow you to create and send an email message - as well as providing you with tools such as spell checking and rich text formatting, in addition to setting SafeBox permissions.

When you click Compose, an email message composition window will appear. 

 

In the composition window, you will be able to enter one or more addresses, type a subject, create a message, attach files, check spelling, select the SafeBox, etc.
