Good to know
- An always-Bcc address receives a copy of every mail, so use it with care.
- Plain Text removes images and formatting from what you send.
- A wrong outgoing server setting stops sending. Mail then waits in the Outbox.
- Extra sender addresses (aliases) from your XgenPlus profile appear in the From list when you compose.
