- Identity: select the address from which you want the template message to be sent. If a signature has been set for the selected identity, this will be automatically added at the end of the message
- The subject of the message
- The body of the message
- Attachments can also be added
After saving at least one template, when composing a new email message, you can click on Email Templates and choose the message you want to send from the list displayed. Each message setting (identity, subject, text, attachments) can be changed before sending the message.
