The Quickmail is a block that provides emailing capability within Moodle courses.

It allows teachers to email students with the following functions:

  • sending regular emails
  • emails can have attachments
  • keeping email history
  • sending emails with student groups
  • students can be allowed to use Quickmail too

  2. Select Quickmail from the Blocks dropdown menu in the lower left corner.

  3. Click “Turn Editing Off” button on the course site.

Compose New Email

Tips

  •  If you do now allow students to use Quickmail – they will not even see the block on the site homepage.
  • Attachment behaves differently for Students and for Teachers.
    • Students can select a file from their hard drive to attach to the email. This file is only temporarily stored on the server and it deleted after the email has been sent.

    • Teachers use the standard course files interface. These files are stored in the course files and are never removed by Quickmail.
