> ## Internal Mail

> AudBase allows multiple users to access the same database file, either one-by-one or in a client-server environment. The internal mail feature lets you communicate with other users working on the same data file.

> You can compose and send mail to other AudBase users, either internally or through their e-mail address.

> To compose mail

> 1. Select File > Internal Mail.
> 2. Click Compose Mail and the New Mail dialog displays.
> 3. To choose the recipient of your message, click Addresses.
> 4. Select the desired recipient's name from the Full List of Addresses and add it to the Address Mail To: box by dragging the name or clicking on a name while holding down the Shift key. You can also address mail to more than one address by repeating this step.
> 5. Click Update.
> 6. From New Mail, type a message in the note field.
> 7. At this point, you can send the mail to other AudBase users either internally or externally by way of e-mail.
> - To send mail internally, click Send Internal.
> - To send mail externally, click Send E-mail.

> If an Internet e-mail address is not available for an AudBase user in your address list, the message will be delivered by internal mail instead.

> To check internal mail

> To check for new internal mail, do one of the following:

> - Start AudBase and log in. If someone has sent you mail, the "You have mail" dialog appears.
> - Select File > Internal Mail and the Internal Mail dialog displays.

> The internal mail messages display by the sender's name and by the date sent. To open a message, double-click on sender's name and the message opens.
