GroupWise Training Module 1 - How To Send A Message

Sending a basic message

1. From the Toolbar, select File then New, then Mail (or simply click on the New Mail button on the Toolbar)
2. The Mail To box will open. Type in the email address of the recipient (or if the name is already in your Address Book, simply start typing the recipient's name and it will be auto-filled)
3. Hit the Tab key to move to the Subject field and enter the message subject.
4. Press tab again to get to the Message field and begin typing your message.
5. When you are finishing typing your message, click the Send button and the message will be sent.

Additional options as you compose a message

Spell Check

If you want to spell check your message, click on the Spell Check button before you send your message (but after you finish typing it).

You can set GroupWise so that every message will be spell-checked before it is sent. To set this, choose Tools then Options, double-click on Environment and on the General tab, place a check next to Check spelling before send.

Attaching Files

To attach a file to your email, click on the paper clip icon on the Toolbar. Choose the file that you want to attach and hit OK. (Choose multiple files by using your shift button). You will see the file listed at the bottom of the message window.

Carbon Copy and Blind Carbon Copy

Add additional recipients by pressing Enter in the To field. Alternately, you can insert other recipients in the CC (carbon copy) or BCC (blind carbon copy) fields.

Changing Text Attributes

You can change the text attributes (font, color, etc.) by highlighting the text and using the text attribute icons within the message window.
