Office 365 (Apple Mail) - Format a Message

Best Effort Support Only

This document contains instructions on using a non-Microsoft email client, such as Apple Mail or Thunderbird. Microsoft does not recommend these clients for use with Office 365, and there are often significant limitations in client functionality as a result. Because of this, the DoIT Help Desk is only able to offer best effort support for these clients, and certain issues may require the use of a Microsoft client in order to be resolved. For more information on Office 365 client support, please see: Office 365 - Which clients/protocols will be supported?.

  • Attach a document to this message: Allows you to browse for any document you'd like to attach.

  • Stationery Pane: Allows you to choose the stationery for your message.

    

    

• In the drop-down menu by the Subjects field, there are options regarding what appears in the message window. Those with a check mark are shown and those without a check mark are hidden.

  

• Cc Address Field: The Carbon copy address field. The message is sent to each address in it.
• Bcc Address Field: The Blind carbon copy address field where the names of the recipients aren't visible to other recipients.
