Sending a message to a mate with an iPhone is pretty self-explanatory, however, trying to send an email can often cause users some grief.

While the process is quite simple, there are a few tricky steps you can easily overlook which will make it tough for you to send an email.

The following is a guide for users when trying to send emails to others.

1)    Tap Enter
2)    Type a name or email address in the ‘to’ field, or tap ‘+’ to add a name from your contacts.
3)    As you type an email address, matching email addresses from your contacts list appear below. Tap an address to add it. To add more names, tap Return or ‘+’.
4)    NOTE: If you’re composing a message from your Microsoft Exchange account and have access to your enterprise Global Address List (GAL), matching addresses from the contacts on iPhone appear first, followed by matching GAL addresses.
5)    Tap Cc/Bcc/From if you want to copy or blind copy the message to others, or change the account you send the message from. If you have more than one email account, you can tap the From field to change the account you’re sending from.
6)    Enter a subject, then your message.
7)    You can tap Return to move from one field to another.
8)    Tap Send.

To Reply to an email, tap ‘Reply’ or ‘Reply all’ if you want to send it to others on the list.

To forward a message, tap ‘Forward’. You can add more email addresses form here.

It is also possible to add videos of photos to emails. Just tap the ‘Add Email’ and ‘Add Photo’ links to do so.
