Webmail: Sending, Saving, or Canceling a Message

Follow these simple guidelines to assure your message is delivered correctly:

  • In the address fields of your message, use a fully qualified email address (e.g. myname@example.com), or a nickname as listed in your Address Book for a contact.
  • Separate multiple addresses with commas. Your message will not be sent if you use semi-colons (;) to separate addresses.

Once completing a composition, you can send the message off directly, save it as a draft so you can review the contents at a later time, or you can erase the message and start over again.

To send or save your message, do one of the following:

  • Click Send to send the message.
  • Click Save Draft to save the message so you can review it and send it later. To send the saved draft, if you are in No Frames or Frames mode: Go to your Draft folder, open the message and click Send. If you are in Frames with JavaScript mode: Go to your Draft folder, open the message and click the Restore Draft link to open the message; when you are ready, click Send to send the message.

To clear the message fields:

  • Click Cancel. All message fields are cleared, and you can start over.

For information on specifying a width for the compose window, see Setting Preferences.
