Write, format, and send messages in Mail for Windows 10

Home

1. In the Mail app, choose New mail above the folder list.

   

2. Type the recipient's email address and a subject.

3. Compose your new message in the reading pane, and use the tabs at the top to format the message, insert additional content, or check your spelling.

   • Format – Choose fonts, font styles, and paragraph layout, or apply pre-defined paragraph styles such as headings or block quotes.

     

   • Insert – Add an attachment, picture, link, or table.

     The options on the nav bar change when you insert an object. For example, when you insert a picture, you can use the options to crop, rotate, and so on. And when you insert a table, you can change the style options, cell size, and so on.

     

   • Options – Mark your message as High Importance or Low Importance and check and correct the spelling.

     

4. Choose Send once your message is ready to go, or choose Discard to delete the draft message without sending it.

   

5. To continue an existing conversation, choose an email message and then choose Reply, Reply all, or Forward in the nav bar above the reading pane.

   

Notes: To switch between Mail and Calendar apps, tap or choose the Mail or Calendar button at the bottom of the folder pane.
