Emails sent to your firm’s Desk addresses arrive in the Inbox as conversations. Replies go out from your firm, and every email is kept on its matter.

  1. Open the Inbox

    Go to Inbox

    Pick what to show:

    • Needs a reply
    • Waiting on them
    • From someone new
    • Done
    • Everything

    Search by name, email or words, or narrow it by address and by who it’s with.

  2. File mail from someone new

    An email from someone Desk doesn’t know waits under From someone new. Choose the client, and the matter if you know it, then press File it here.

    • Add as a new client if they’re new to you
    • Not for us if it’s spam or sent to you by mistake

    Their attachments wait unchecked until you file them.

    Open the conversation, write in Your reply and press Send reply. Use Attach from the matter to send one of its documents, or Save draft to finish later.

    Choose a colleague under With to make it theirs.
