Addressing and Composing a New Message

To address and compose your e-mail messages:

  1. In the To and Cc fields, type the names of the recipients. Separate multiple names with semicolons (;).

    Tip  When adding an address, you can also click the To or Cc buttons. This will open the Find Names dialog box, which allows you to search through your organization's global address list for a particular recipient. Once you locate a person through Find Names, their name can be added directly to your e-mail message.
  2. To add blind carbon copy recipients, in the Bcc field, type their names, or click Bcc to open the Find Names dialog box. Bcc recipients receive a copy of the message, but their names do not appear in the list of recipients. Each Bcc recipient cannot see the names of other Bcc recipients. If no Bcc box is present and you want to add Bcc names, click Options, and then select Show Bcc. (By default, Outlook Web Access messages do not include the bcc field.)
  3. In the Subject field, type a brief subject line.
  4. Type your message in the message body.

    Tip   Use the Formatting Toolbar to format your text with different sizes, fonts, and colors.
