This option is used to email contacts you have set up for one particular customer or prospect.  Click here for instructions on setting up contacts.  It works in conjunction with Microsoft Outlook which must also be installed on the PC you are working on.  To email a large group of recipients, refer to Send a Global Mailshot Email.  Please note that the Email a Contact icon in the toolbar is not available in Power Gx on the Cloud.
