4. You can then search the Global Address list to find the user you are looking for. Once you have found them, double-click their name to add them to the recipients for this message. You may add multiple users from this window if you wish. Press OK when finished.
Add an Attachment
There are various methods to add attachments to email messages. The attachment size is limited to 25 MB, however, this ultimately depends on how your email application encodes the message.
1. To add an attachment to your email message, click the Attach File button in the ribbon of the message composition window.
2. You will be provided with a list of documents that you have recently edited as suggestions of files you may wish to attach. Select one of these files to attach it, or click Browse This PC... at the bottom of the list to browse all of your files.
Note: You can also attach a file by dragging and dropping it from your desktop into the message composition window.
