You can forward a message from your email to another recipient.

Use the following steps to forward a message to another recipient.

  1. Open the message.

  2. Select Menu.

  3. From the overflow menu, select Forward.

  4. To view the Cc:, Bcc:, press Menu > Add Cc/Bcc.

  5. Type additional comments.

  6. Do any of the following:

    • To attach one or more files on Android phones, select Menu > Attach. On tablets, select the Attachment link, between the subject and the message body.

      Note: Only attachments already downloaded to the device will be included in the new mail.

    • To mark the message as private, and prevent the receiver from copying or forwarding the message, select Menu > Message Options > Prevent Copying.

    • To specify delivery options on Android phones, such as priority, select Menu > Message Options. On tablets, the Message Options menu is available by selecting the Overflow Menu button, the last icon in the Action Bar.
