  2. Click the Quick Reply  icon in the bottom-right corner to view a list of reply options.
  3. Choose a reply from the list that appears.

  1. Open the email you want to forward as an attachment.

  2. Click the More  icon at the top-right corner of the email detail view.

​

Note: While forwarding multiple emails as attachments, you can select up to 100 emails, or ten emails with threaded conversations, or both. However, the cumulative size of the emails added as attachments must not exceed 40 MB (this is subject to change depending on your pricing plan).

Editing Emails as New 

You can make changes to an email you've received or that has already been sent, by using the Edit as New option. Clicking on this option will open the email in the Mail Composer window, allowing you to make necessary changes to the email content. 

To edit an email as new:

  1. Open the email that you would like to edit.
  2. Click the More Options   icon and select Edit as New from the menu list.
  3. Once the required changes have been made, click Send.

Sharing and Unsharing Emails

By sharing emails, you can easily handle email-related discussions and receive input from co-workers in the form of comments, avoiding multiple forwards and replies. 

To share an email: 

  1. Click the Share in Streams  icon in the top-right corner or at the bottom of the email detail view.

Notes:
  • You can also @mention an individual or group in comments and click the Share  icon to share the email.
  • You can add emojis and attach files in the comments.

Sharing Email Drafts 

By sharing drafts, you can review your email content with your co-workers, get their feedback, and make modifications to your email before sending it out. 

To share a draft:

  1. Draft an email in the Mail Composer and click Share Draft.
  2. Select the contacts that you would like to share the draft with. You can also search for contacts using the search bar.
  3. Once ready, click Invite.

Notes
  • Once the draft is shared, the invitees will receive a notification. 
  • You can continue making changes to the draft, and all changes will be reflected automatically and dynamically when the email draft gets saved.
