Drag and drop is the easiest and most intuitive way to attach any file or images to a message composition.

  1. Compose a new message. You can use the New toolbar item, the File > New menu item by replying to a message you received.
  2. Drag one or more files to the Mailplane window.
  3. Drop the file. Mailplane will automatically attach the file and upload it.

Drag and drop to the Mailplane app icon

If you wish to start a new message composition and directly attach one or more files to it, you can directly drop your files to the Mailplane application icon.

Tip: Use Command-Tab

If Mailplane is hidden and you like to drop a file one of its windows or on the application icon then try the ⌘⇥ keyboard shortcut while you drag the file.

Drag and drop images

You can also drag and drop images that are not files, for example a picture shown inside a Safari page.
