Step 1: First, invoke Siri and ask if you have any new email. Next, Siri will display any new messages on the screen in an inbox-style list.
Step 2: If you’d like to reply to the most recent email, tap the microphone button and say, “reply.”
Step 3: Siri will now ask what you’d like the email to say. Continue the process by dictating your message. When you’re finished speaking the reply, press the microphone button again or stop talking and wait for Siri’s standard double beep.
Step 4: The message you’ve dictated will be displayed on the screen and Siri will ask if you’d like to send the email. Next, respond with “yes” to send your reply, or "cancel" to scrap it and start over.
Check out our video overview for a detailed look at this process.
