How to compose, reply to and forward an email in LAWD Mail

Updated October 28, 2026

Quick answer

To write an email in LAWD Mail, click “Escrever” (Compose), fill in “Para” (To), the subject and the message, and click “Enviar” (Send). To reply or forward, open the email and click “Responder” (Reply) or “Encaminhar” (Forward): the original text is quoted, your signature is added and forwarding keeps the attachments.

Composing, replying and forwarding in LAWD Mail work like the webmail you already know, with your signature added automatically and contact suggestions as you type. This tutorial covers all three, plus what you can do with an email after reading it. For a tour of the screens, see the LAWD Mail guide.

How to write a new email

Click "Escrever" (Compose) at the top of the folder list. The "Novo e-mail" (New email) window opens and shows which address it's sent from ("De: yourname@lawd.me"). As you type in the To field, LAWD Mail suggests your contacts.

Step by step

Click "Escrever" (Compose).
In "Para (separe com vírgula)" (To, separate with commas), type one or more addresses. To copy someone, click "Cc" and fill in the field that appears.
Fill in "Assunto" (Subject) and write your message. Your signature is already at the end, after "-- ".
If needed, click "Anexar" (Attach) or "Do LAWD Box" (From LAWD Box) to add files.
Click "Enviar" (Send). You'll see "Enviado." (Sent) and the email moves to the Enviados (Sent) folder.
To reply, open the email and click "Responder" (Reply): the To field is filled in, the subject gets "Re:" and the original text is quoted with ">".
To forward, click "Encaminhar" (Forward): the subject gets "Enc:" (Fwd), the text appears as a forwarded message and the attachments come along. Fill in the To field and send.

What you can do with an email you've read

The bar above the open email has:

Star ("Marcar com estrela"): the email shows up under "Com estrela" (Starred).
"Marcar como não lido" (Mark as unread): it goes back to bold in the list.
Trash ("Mandar para a lixeira"): the email moves to Lixeira (Trash). Inside Trash, the same button becomes "Apagar para sempre" (Delete forever).

On a phone, the back arrow on the left returns to the list.

Hidden images

When an email contains remote images, you'll see "Imagens de fora escondidas" (Remote images hidden). They only load if you click "Mostrar imagens" (Show images), because they tell the sender you opened the email. Links open in a new tab.

Sending limits

The free plan sends up to 100 emails a day and up to 50 recipients per email. If something goes wrong, see emails not sending or going to spam. To send files, follow how to attach files.
