MOTO Q 8 Email Tips and Tricks

1. Place a call from your email screenYou can respond to an email quickly by placing a phone call to an existing Contact. Simply highlight and select the name or address and the contact will appear on the screen, including phone number(s).
2. Toggle between email accountsIf you have two email accounts (personal and business) and frequently get text messages, you can easily toggle between the various accounts without going to Home screen each time.
