    The body of your email should be written in the large text box below the subject line and should typically include a salutation, message, and closing.
    • The nature of email is fast, so you should generally keep the length of your message fairly short.
    • Since you're using Windows' default mail client, Mail, each email will end with "Sent from Mail for Windows," but you can change that in Settings > Signature .

    The tab will underline to indicate that it is selected and the menu items will change.
    • Click File > Attach instead if you'd rather attach the picture to the email instead of including it in the email text.
    • If you embed the image directly in the text, your recipient will see it as both an inline image and a downloadable attachment.

    If you cannot add a picture to the area you're typing in, the button will be greyed out. For example, you cannot add a picture to the "To" field and the button will be greyed out and unclickable. Make sure your cursor is where you want to insert the photo.

    By default, Windows will open your "Pictures" folder, where most of your images will most likely be saved.
    • If you have photos in other areas, like in your Downloads folder, navigate to that folder instead to find the picture you want to email.
    • Most Internet service providers (ISPs) restrict the size of attachments, so if you're sending multiple pictures, it may be a good idea to send several emails with a few attachments.
    • You can click a picture to select it or press and hold Shift while you click to add multiple photos to the selection.

  • Question
    How do I know if my email with photos has been sent and received?
    Community Answer
    To see if an email has been sent, you should be able to check your "sent" folder. To find out whether it's been received, you'll pretty much just have to wait for the recipient to let you know.

  • Question
    I find no option of email in task bar when I want to send a photo.
    Community Answer
    At the bottom of the email, it might display a picture of a paper clip. That is an option to send an attachment. You should be able to hit the attachment button and it should let you pick a file or folder to send as an attachment to the email.
