How to attach a file to an email

Attaching a file to an email sends it along with your message, allowing the recipient to download the file.

To send an attachment with your e-mail:

  1. Click the New Message icon at the top of the page and compose a message just as you normally would. Make sure to include the recipient's e-mail address in the To: field, a subject, and whatever you would like to say in the message window.
  2. To add an attachment to the message, click the Upload button in the middle right of the message window.
  3. This will bring up the directory of files in your computer (or a removable disk that you specify). Find the file you wish to attach and select it by clicking on it. Click Open to attach the file.
  4. Click Send Message, and the message and attachment will be sent.
