How to Use Microsoft Outlook 2007: Composing and Sending a Message

1. In Outlook 2007, select Mail Message from the New menu.
   
   
   
   
   
   A composition window is displayed.
   
   
   
2. In the To field, enter the e-mail address of each person to whom you want to send mail. As you type, Outlook 2007 may autofill the address or recipient's name, depending on which one Outlook 2007 recognizes first. Outlook 2007 may also display multiple names to suggest possible correct entries. In the example below, after typing "b", Outlook 2007 displayed the entry "Bonnie Bluegray", which is listed in the address book. To select any entry Outlook 2007 suggests, just click on that entry, as shown below.
