If you're jacked in, click the button on the right of your compass and select Email. From the Loading Area, click the Email icon (envelope) on the upper right corner of the screen. The Email interface will open and you can read or compose email from there.

 

Note: While your email screen is open, other windows will be inactive. The only window that has any functionality while the email screen is open is your Inventory.

 

When you open the Email window while jacked in, all other windows will be closed automatically.

While you're jacked in, you may only transfer items or $Information if you are near a hardline, although you can send email messages without attachments from anywhere in the Mega City. You can email both Items and $Info from the Loading Area.

 

The easiest way to email an item is to right-click the item from the Inventory screen and select Email this item. If you already have the Email interface open while jacked in, you'll need to select the Inventory screen by clicking the button to the right of the compass and selecting Inventory from the menu. (The Inventory hotkey won't work while the email screen is open.)

 

Sending items and $Information costs an additional amount of $Info that is based on the value of what you are sending. The cost of sending the item or $Information is displayed at the bottom of the Email screen.

 

Note: There is a known issue with trying to email items from your Code Archive. At this time, you can select items from your Code Archive to send, but the item won't be removed from the Code Archive, it won't be delivered to the recipient, and you won't be charged the cost displayed in the Email window. This will be fixed in an upcoming patch.
