Email is a bit different in Moodle 0809. To send email to your class you do the following:

1. Go to class and choose compose from the quickmail block at the top right
   
2. Select all of the users you wish to send to
   
3. Create your message
   
4. Preview your message
   
5. Update your message if you wish to make changes or click send message.
   

• The message will go out immediately
• You can view the history of messages sent out from that class (regardless of who sent them) in the quickmail block
• Forums will also send mail but may not go out immediately (messages go out each time a script on the server runs - about every 15 minutes)
