Write and send email

Type one or more names or email addresses in the address field. Press Return or Enter or type a comma to end each name or address.

at the right end of the address field.To include Cc and Bcc address fields, click Cc/Bcc.
In the Subject field, type a subject for the email.
If you want to send the message from an address you do not usually use, click From, then choose a different address in the pop-up menu.
You have multiple addresses if you created an email alias or if you have an @me.com or @mac.com address in addition to your @icloud.com address.
Type your message, then click Send in the top right-hand corner.
The time an email was sent appears in the message list or the email header (the information at the top of the email). If the time shown is incorrect, you need to change the time zone in Settings on iCloud.com. See Change the language, time zone or regional formats used on iCloud.com.
Change the default folder for sent email

In the Mailboxes section of the General pane, select “Save sent messages in”, then click the adjacent pop-up menu and choose a new folder.
Click Done.
Note: If you send an email with large attachments, it might be returned by the recipient’s email service if your email exceeds the size limit set by that email service. You can try sending the contents of your message in multiple emails, or using compression software, such as the Compress feature on a Mac, to make your attachments as small as possible.
