Mails or emails can be called up from the context of an event, an account or many other records. In this case, some details such as the recipient may already be prefilled. However, an email can also be created out of context and later linked to other records.
Go to the Communications tab on the function bar.
Click on the dropdown triangle next to Mail/Email, and select New and your company, if applicable.
When writing a mail from other records, click on New > Mail in the toolbar of the event, appointment, account etc.
The Text tab of the email will open.
Any new communication defaults to the channel Mail, unless a preference for email communication has been specified for the linked account or contact person. Select Email instead.
