# Write and send email

Compose new email, reply, forward, add attachments, and work with drafts.

Write email in Mira's composer, then send it from any of your mailboxes.

## Write a new email

Select **Compose**, or press <kbd>C</kbd> when you are not typing. Add recipients in **To**, a **Subject**, and your message, then select **Send** or press <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>Enter</kbd> (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> <kbd>Enter</kbd> on Windows).

With more than one mailbox, choose the address to send from in **From**.

## Reply and forward

Under the last message of a conversation, select **Reply**, **Reply all** or **Forward**. To answer an earlier message, use **Reply** in that message's menu. The reply includes the quoted message; select **Hide quoted message** to leave it out.

## Attach files

Select **Attach files** in the composer and choose the files. They are sent with the email.

## Formatting and signatures

Use the formatting toolbar for bold, italic, underline, lists, quotes and links. Your mailbox's signature is added to each email, and you can change it in that email before you send. To change the signature itself, see [Mailbox settings](https://mirahq-stg.app/docs/mailboxes/mailbox-settings).

## Drafts

Mira saves what you write as a draft as you type, in your mailbox's **Drafts** folder, so it shows in your other email apps too. Close the composer with **Close and keep draft** to come back to it later, or select **Discard draft** to delete it.

## Larger composer

Select **Full screen** for more room, or **Minimize** to keep the draft out of the way while you read other mail.

> **Tip:** To let Mira write a first version or improve your text, select **Write with Mira** in the composer. See [Write with Mira](https://mirahq-stg.app/docs/ai/write-with-mira).
