Glass compose window with formatting toolbar and AI buttons

​
Writing a message

Press New to open the composer. It can be minimised or expanded to full screen.
  • Rich formatting — fonts, sizes, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, text colour, alignment, lists, indents, quotes and links
  • Cc/Bcc and contact suggestions as you type
  • Attachments with the paperclip
  • Save draft to finish later

​
Let AI write it

The AI row under the message helps you write:

​
Signatures

In Settings → Signatures, create one or more signatures with rich text or your own HTML. In Composing, choose whether your signature is added to new messages, replies and forwards.

​
Read receipts

Turn on Receipt before you send and Aura tells you when the message is opened:
  • The sent message shows when it was first opened, when it was last opened, and how many times.
  • You get an alert when it’s read, which takes you straight to the message.
  • To ask for receipts on every new message, turn on Settings → Composing → Ask for a read receipt by default. You can still switch it off per message.
Read receipts rely on the recipient’s mail app loading images. Some people block images, so a message can be read without a receipt.

​
Common questions

Yes. In Settings → Reading, turn off loading remote images. Images stay hidden until you choose to show them.
AI writing uses a small amount of credits, like other AI features.
