The Mailbird Next composer includes formatting tools that help you write richer emails, from inline images and links to fonts, lists, emojis, and pasted HTML content.

✍️ What you can do in the composer

  1. Choose a composing font in versions that include font selection.
  2. Insert emojis using Mailbird’s built-in emoji picker or the native emoji shortcut where supported.
  3. Add and resize inline images by dragging and dropping them into your message.
  4. Add, edit, and remove links in your message text.
  5. Paste as HTML to preserve rich formatting in the composer, signatures, and snippets.
  6. Use automatic bulleted and numbered lists by typing naturally in supported versions.
  7. Use multi-language spell check where available to compose in more than one language.

🧭 Basic workflow

  1. Open a new compose window or reply.
  2. Use the composer toolbar or keyboard shortcuts for formatting actions.
  3. Preview the message before sending, especially if it includes copied formatting, images, or links.
  4. Send a test message to yourself if the formatting is important.

⚠️ Limitations

  • HTML email rendering varies by recipient app. A message can look different in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, or mobile clients.
  • Pasted HTML can bring hidden formatting from the source. If the message looks wrong, paste as plain text or clear formatting before reapplying styles.
  • Inline images can increase message size and may be hidden by recipients until they load images.
  • Spell-check availability depends on the languages and dictionaries supported by your device and Mailbird Next version.

If you have any questions at all regarding formatting tools in Mailbird Next, please contact the Customer Happiness Team. Include your Mailbird Next version, operating system, a description of what the issue is. Our team will then do its very best to assist you.
