Considerations

• These steps only apply to New Outlook. They may differ lightly from other versions, for example, Outlook on the web, or classic Outlook. 

Create and send an e-mail

1. Choose New E-mail or press Ctrl + N to start a new message.
   • If multiple e-mail accounts are in your new Outlook, From:<accountname> appears at the top of the new message. To change the account that you want the message sent from, select From:<accountname> and choose another account.
2. Enter a name or e-mail address in the To, Cc, or Bcc field. If you can't access the Bcc line, select the Bcc button in the top right corner
   • As you start typing a recipient's name, Outlook will suggest the names of people you've emailed before. Those you've emailed most recently will be listed as 'Suggested contacts'. You can pick a name from the list, type a full name or email address, or select the To, Cc, or Bcc button to see more options.
   • When you select the To, Cc, or Bcc button, the 'Add recipients' window opens. From the list of recipients, select + beside the name you want to include in your message. When you're finished adding names, select Save.
3. In Add a subject, type the subject of the e-mail message.
4. Place the cursor in the large body of the e-mail message and then start typing.

5. Choose Send or press Ctrl + Enter to send automatically. You can also select the drop-down arrow to select Schedule send, or Start mail merge.
