Customize each email you send. When composing a new email, you can use the toolbar within the compose message page to choose your favorite font, change the color of the font, personalize the background of the message with a graphic or color and add animated emotions or “emoticons” to your dialogue.

A personal address book is available to create contacts and groups for frequently used email addresses.
A calendar feature provides daily, weekly, and monthly formats, which allows you to quickly locate, add, change or remove appointments. To add a new event simply double click on the time slot, add a description, set the end date and save.
