3.2.1  Toolbar

The message editor toolbar contains the following options:

Read mail

This option closes the message editor and opens the Inbox folder.

New mail

This button opens the message editor.

The second row of buttons in the toolbar includes the following options:

Send

This option sends the message to all addresses included in the corresponding entries.

Save as Draft

This option is useful when a message is started and cannot be finished at the moment for any reason. The Save as Draft button saves the message in the Drafts folder where incomplete messages are supposed to be stored.

3.2.2  Message header and contents

Message headers cover the following entries:

From

The address that is displayed to the recipient as the address of the sender.

To

Enter the email address of the recipient in this field. It is possible to enter multiple addresses separated by commas.

Cc

The same function as the To field. Use this field when you just want to keep the recipient informed and do not need him to reply to the message.

Bcc

The address entered in this field is hidden for the other recipients. Blind copy is useful especially when a message is to be sent to more email addresses and you want to protect the privacy of one or more users.

Subject

A comprehensive summary of the contents.

Message text is entered in the large field below the message header.

Note

In Kerio WebMail Mini for mobile devices, it is not possible to include attachments in messages.
