# Creating new mail

This view lets you create a new mail to send to one or more recipients.
The toolbar contains two menu items and 2 tool buttons. The blue attachment icon lets you add arbitrary attachments to the mail, the OK button puts the mail created into the outbox ready to send later.
If there is required information missing a dialog box will remind you to complete the email.
The listbox to the left lets you switch between the recipients (To:)and the carbon copy (CC:) entry of the address field in the middle.
To the right of this field there is a button which opens an addressbook picker to pick one or more email addresses from the Opie addressbook.
If you have completed this action just click the green checkmark button or click the picker button again to abort.
The address field is filled depending whether the To: or CC: entry is active.

Note that chosing addresses deletes all entries previously present in the address field.
Enter a subject in the line below and your mail text in the lower input area.
