   Okay, when you click on Compose, you get a composition window.  In order   
   to send, you need to fill in an address to send to. Otherwise the   
   program has no idea where to send it.   
      
   In your Compose window, you should see a From field at the top, that   
   will have your email and or name.   
      
   Under that will be another field, it should be labeled To.  There will   
   be an arrow next to it, drop it down and it will give you some other   
   options.  You must designate a recipient in the To field for the mail to   
   be sent.   
      
   That is the "addressing area" to which the error message referred.
