To create an email, right-click the *Email* ![](https://office.webbplatsen.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/green_1one_icon.png) icon ![](https://office.webbplatsen.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Email_icon.png) in* Main menu*.You can also click *New*![](https://office.webbplatsen.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/green_2two_icon.png) to see the full menu with all items you can create, and select *Email*![](https://office.webbplatsen.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/green_3three_icon.png).

   **Note: **Autocomplete will suggest emails of the recipients you already used or that are stored in the shared folder with contacts. Click the email to accept the suggestion or continue entering your own.It is not possible to clear autocomplete suggestions entirely since the service uses emails from your *Sent *folder, as well as from the Global Address List (GAL) if you have access to a shared folder with contacts.

   You can also send a copy of the email to the other recipients. Click ![](https://office.webbplatsen.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/to_menu_icon.png) to see all fields and enter email addresses of the recipients into the *Cc:* field. These email addresses will be visible to the others.

   If you want to hide recipients, see [How to hide recipients](https://docs.icewarp.com/Content/WebClient%20Topics/Email/Email%20-%20How%20To%20Guides/How%20to%20hide%20recipients.htm).If you don't remember the email address, you can find it in the Address book, Contact Folder or TeamChat Room - click "To:" and select one of the source from the dropdown.![](https://office.webbplatsen.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/How20to20address20a20new20message_1.png)Figure.

4. To request a read confirmation, use direct attachment, etc. click *Options* ![](https://office.webbplatsen.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/green_5five_icon.png).

### Editor Mode

Use* Editor Mode* ![](https://office.webbplatsen.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/green_6six_icon.png) to format the message body text.

You have the following choices:

- *HTML*: use this option when you need to have clickable links or track open rate of the email.
- *Text*: email is sent as plain text so you know that other recipients see what you see. Graphics cannot be used.
- *Source*: use this option when you need to see message source code.

**Note: **These tools are enabled only for HTML format.

### Smart Attach

With *Smart Attach* you can send large size attachments as links. The file itself will be stored on your computer and you can manage access to it. The recipient can download the file by the link in the email. In this way you can be sure that the recipient gets your email even if his Inbox doesn't except large emails. You can also control the file availability. In case you disable *Smart Attach* ![](https://office.webbplatsen.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/green_7seven_icon.png), all files will be sent as direct attachments.
