Question

I want to send some files -- what do I write in the subject line?

Community Answer

Add your files first. At the bottom of the email you want to send, you see a paperclip icon. Click it, and select what files you want to send. In the subject line, you can write: Attachments for your consideration or something similar. If it is time critical, make that clear in the subject line too.

Question

I write in Word and need to send my document by Gmail to the newspaper. How can I do this?

Community Answer

Save your Word document. Go into Gmail and press the little paperclip sign, that lets you add attachments. It brings up your saved documents -- just search for and find your saved Word document and click it. It should have either open/attach button in that window. Press it. Your document is attached to the email. Once it has finished uploading, the email is ready to send.

Question

Why won't an email send when I click on send? It stays in the outbox.

Community Answer

One possibility for the email staying in the outbox is that the attached file size exceeds the limit of 25 MB.

Question

What do I write in subject when sending an email using Gmail?

Community Answer

Write what the email is about. Usually you would do this in 2 to 7 words, to describe what the reader can expect as content in the email. For example, if were about a birthday surprise for your boss, you would type "Boss Birthday Surprise".

How do I stop my emails from going to drafts?

Question

What does CC and BCC mean?

WikiVY

Community Answer

CC means carbon copy and BCC means blind carbon copy. If you type email addresses under CC, the recipients will all be able to see each other's addresses. However, BCC covers the addresses up, so that no other addresses are shown to each recipient. This is good practice when sending to groups of people who are not know to each other.

Question

How do I attach a photo from the gallery?

WikiVY

Community Answer

Click on the pin symbol. There is a limit as to how big a file or photo can be attached and sent. If it is within those limits, it will be sent. As you click on the paper pin icon, it will show you the locations on your device like my computer, documents, images etc. Select where it is, click on the image and follow the next step. It can be clicking on OK or Send, depending upon your device.
