Compose

Use WorldClient Pro's Compose page to compose new email messages. To reach this page, click Compose or on the Navigation Bar of your browser. The Compose page will be opened automatically when Replying to or Forwarding messages.

Composing an Email Message

1. Use the "From:" header's drop-down list box to choose the address of the mailbox from which you wish to send the message. This list will contain an entry for each Mailbox that you have created in Options.

2. Type the recipient's email address into the To: box, or click , click beside the desired address, and then click the Close button to insert that address. You can send the message to multiple recipients by inserting multiple addresses into the To: box with the Address Lookup or manually by separated them with commas or semicolons. For instructions on how to use the Address Lookup feature, see: Using Address Lookup.

3. Type the subject of the message into the Subject: box. Filling in the Subject: isn't required but is customary and may help the recipients in identifying and referencing the message.

4. Type the body of your message into the text box provided beneath the message headers. If the text of your message is too long for the text box, you can scroll through it by using the scroll bar on its right side.

5. When you have finished composing your message, click Send Now or on the Compose toolbar. If you haven't finished composing your message, or if you wish to send it later, click Send Later or . The message will be saved in the Drafts folder for later use.

Spell Checking Email Messages
You can check the body of your outgoing messages for spelling errors before you send them by clicking Spell Check or on the Compose toolbar. This will take you to the Spell Check page, which will display the text of your message with spelling errors noted.

To Spell Check you messages:

1. Select the language that you want Spell Check to use from the "Spell Check Language:" list box near the bottom of the Compose page.

2. Click Spell Check or on the Compose toolbar.

3. Each word that is in question will be displayed in a drop-down list box containing alternate spelling choices. Make a spelling correction by clicking the arrow on the side of the list box and then choosing a selection from the list that will be displayed.

4. If a word's drop-down list doesn't contain a selection that you desire, click Finished or to return to the Compose page where you can manually retype the word in question.

5. When you have finished making your corrections, click Finished or to return to the Compose page which will then display your corrected message.

   -OR-

   Click Send Now or to send your corrected message immediately without first returning to the Compose page.

6. If you wish to send your message at a later time, click Send Later or and your message will be saved in the Drafts folder maintaining any corrections that you may have already made.

Attaching Files to Email Messages
To include one or more file attachments with your message, clickor Attachments on the Compose page and then follow the directions on the Attachments page.

Advanced Compose
There are several optional features available for use on the Compose page. To display these features click Advanced or on the Compose toolbar located at the top of the Compose page.

Using an Alternate "Reply To:" Address
By default, when recipients reply to your email message the reply will be sent to the address that was contained in the From: box of your message. If you want the reply to be sent to an address other than your From: then type the alternate address into the Reply To: box under Advanced Options on the Compose page.

Sending a Carbon Copy (CC:)
On the Advanced Compose page, the CC: option is used exactly like the TO: header. Type an address or use theAddress Lookup feature to enter email addresses to which you wish to send a copy of the message. All recipients of the message will be able to see that a copy has been sent to the CC: addresses. You can send the message to multiple CC: recipients by inserting multiple addresses into the CC: header, separated by commas or semicolons. You can also enter addresses into the CC: header by using theAddress Lookup feature. For instructions on how to use the Address Lookup feature, see: Using Address Lookup.

Sending a Blind Carbon Copy (BCC:)
On the Advanced Compose page, use this option exactly like TO: and CC:. The difference between CC: and BCC: is that the BCC: recipient's email address will not appear anywhere on the message itself. To: and CC: recipients will not be able to see which (or if any) BCC: recipients have received a copy of the message. You can send the message to multiple BCC: recipients by inserting multiple addresses into the BCC: box, separated by commas or semicolons. You can also enter addresses into the BCC: header by clicking theAddress Lookup feature. For instructions on how to use the Address Lookup feature, see: Using Address Lookup.

Delivery Confirmation
On the Advanced Compose page, click this option if you would like your mail server to send you a message letting you know when your message was successfully delivered to the recipient's mail server.

Read Confirmation
Some recipients may have email clients with the ability to send you a short message letting you know when a message from you has been read. Click this option on the Advanced Compose page if you would like a Read Confirmation message to be sent to you when possible.

High Priority
On the Advanced Compose page, click this option to mark an outgoing message as High Priority. Some email servers look for messages containing this flag and will attempt to deliver them immediately and/or give them priority status. Many email clients mark high priority messages with a symbol or flag to let the recipient know that the message is urgent. Some mail servers and email clients do not honor the High Priority flag.

Compose Fax
This optional feature may not be available to all users. The Compose Fax page is used the same as the Compose and Compose Advanced pages described previously. However, Compose Fax contains a Fax Number: field used for specifying the recipient's fax number instead of a To: field for their email address. It also contains spaces for Attn., Company, and Subject, and a drop-down list box for choosing the cover page that you want the fax to use. When viewing this page in the Advanced mode there is also a Delivery Confirmation checkbox that you may enable if you want RelayFax to send you a confirmation message when the fax has been delivered.

When composing a fax from this page, all of the text that you provide in the text box will appear on the cover page. In addition, if you attach a file to the message then RelayFax will attempt to convert it to a document and fax it as well.

Address Lookup
Address Lookup is used to insert addresses into your email messages. You can lookup addresses contained in your Personal Contacts, Global Contacts, Fax Contacts (if your WorldClient has access to faxing options), or any LDAP databases which have been included in the Address Lookup list. To use the Address Lookup utility:

1. Click Address Lookup orbeside the To: header to insert an address into the To:, CC:, or BCC: header. This will open the Address Lookup utility.

2. Click the Contacts group on the top of the page that you want to be displayed in the address listing below, or use the drop-down list box to select the lookup option that you wish to use for your search.

3. Type the name or email address for which you are searching.

-or-

Leave the text field blank if you have chosen Personal or Global Contacts from the drop-down list and you wish to view the entire contents of that selection.

4. Click the Search button.

5. If you want to insert one or more of the displayed email addresses into your message, click in the To, CC, or BCC column beside the address(es) that you wish to insert. A confirmation box will popup to let you know when each address has been inserted.

6. When you have finished looking up and/or adding the address(es) to your message, click the Close button to close Address Lookup and return to the message.
