# Sending an Email using Daylite Mail Assistant

Sending an email using Daylite Mail Assistant is a quick and easy process, and is encouraged because then you have a record of any outgoing corrospondence in one easy to view location.

There are two ways you can compose a new email message.

The first way is to select the **Compose new message** icon in Mail.

The second way is when you reply to an email message that has been sent to you.

Once you have composed a new message in Apple Mail and added all of your recipients, you can open Daylite Mail Assistant by clicking the icon in the toolbar. If you have auto-adding turned on, the email will be added to Daylite, otherwise you can click the **Add to Daylite** button. Any Daylite Contacts will be automatically linked to the email.

**Pro Tip:**

If you have the auto-adding setting turned on, you don't need to open Daylite Mail Assistant in the Compose window. In this case, the email will be automatically added to Daylite when you send the email, as long as there is a Daylite contact in the To, Cc, or Bcc field.
