No. Acquit never sends email to your clients and never stores what you wrote. Client correspondence lives only in your firm’s mailbox.
Open in default mail editor opens a pre-filled email in your own mail program (such as desktop Outlook); you review it and send it from there. This is deliberate: it keeps privileged correspondence out of a second system and avoids extra retention obligations for your firm.
How Outlook Web drafts work
Open in Outlook Web works the same way. With your permission (the mail access granted when you connect or reconnect Outlook), Acquit saves the email as a draft in your own mailbox and opens it in Outlook on the web for you to review and send. Nothing is sent until you send it, and Acquit still keeps no copy. If your Outlook connection was made before this existed, the compose window shows a one-line prompt to reconnect; until then the mail-editor button keeps working exactly as before.
What Acquit does record
A small oversight record only: which template was prepared, for which client and court date, by whom, and when. Once the email has actually gone out, click Mark sent. The record shows under Recent emails on the Emails tab and in the client’s Activity feed, so a supervising lawyer can confirm updates went out without reading anyone’s mailbox.
