Compose Window

By default the compose window is a pop-in. It is part of the Webmail page for increased speed. If minimized, it will be displayed at the bottom of the Webmail page instead of on your desktop. To pop-out the compose window into a separate browser page, click the arrow in the upper right.

The next time you open the compose window, it will open in the style that you last used it, either as a pop-in or pop-out window.
