Reply, forward & attachments

Once a message is open, responding and sharing files is a tap away. Here's reply, reply-all, forward, and how to save attachments.

  1. Open the message

    Tap a message in your list to open the reader. The action buttons sit in the toolbar at the top of the message.

  2. Reply or Reply All

    Reply writes back to the sender only. Reply All includes everyone who was on the message (the sender plus all To/Cc recipients) — handy for group threads, but check the recipient list before you send.

  3. Forward

    Forward sends a copy of the message — including its attachments — on to someone new. Add their address and any note, then send.

  4. Save an attachment

    Files appear as chips under the message. Tap one to open or save it — on Android it hands off to Save to Files or the share sheet; on the web it downloads to your browser. Attachments you add to your own replies work the same way as in a new message.
