This article is for faculty, students, and staff seeking information regarding starting a new email message in Outlook. 

1. Click **New Email **or press** Ctrl + N**.
2. If multiple email accounts are configured in Microsoft Outlook, the **From **button appears and the account that will send the message is shown. To change the account, click **From** and pick the account.
3. In the **Subject **box, type the subject of the message.
4. Enter the recipients' email addresses or names in the **To**, **Cc**, or **Bcc **boxes**.** Separate multiple recipients with a semicolon. To select recipients' names from a list in the Address Book, click **To**, **Cc**, or **Bcc**, and then click the names that you want.

> ℹ️ As you start typing a recipient's name, Outlook will suggest the names of people you have emailed before. Those you have emailed most recently will be listed as **Recent People,** and those you have emailed less frequently will appear as **Other Suggestions**. You can pick a name from the list, type a full name or email address, or click **To**, **Cc**, or **Bcc** to select a name or names from the address book.
