Bold/dumb question?
How am I supposed to send a MMS from Saulfish UI?
I never dealt with MMSes after I fixed fMMS for N900 years ago.
And I cannot find the possibility to send it. Iirc it should be in the native messaging app but I do nowhere see an option to change from SMS to MMS?
Do we have somewhere a user manual?

Not really. Due to some logic, MMS is not available from the messaging app. (Duh!) You need to create an MMS through the share menu.
Yes! We have a manual! https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201849396-How-do-I-send-and-receive-MMS-
Even after 5 years with SailfishOS, always when I want to send MMS I open Messages app. Then I realize that I should open Gallery app instead...

At least your answer makes me feel not too dumb ;)
Now I maybe remember in some (very) dark corner of my workaround-overfilled head that it was this way. But I just could not see it yesterday.
Thanks @raketti
Regarding the manual:
somehow I only found this
https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201893246
which is actually linked from your site.
And I just now tried from SF browser with 'sailfish how to send receive mms' and it is the same. Not the correct result found ??? (used startpage and google)
Another strange phenomenon!
After some deeper googling I also found the 'full user manuals':
https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/200392647-User-guides
For the phone guide you get redirected to own Jolla server (based on SF1):
https://jolla.com/guide/
For the tablet (SF2) this is located on zendesk:
https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/206260208-Jolla-Tablet-User-Guide
The word MMS does not appear in the tablet guide.
And in the phone guide exactly once under section 'viewing photos':
Viewing photosTapping on "Photos" shows all your photos as thumbnails and you can scroll through them. Tap on a photo to see it fullscreen. Pull left and right to scroll through photos. To delete a single photo long tap on a thumbnail, and a delete option appears.Tap anywhere on a fullscreen photo to bring up the split screen. Rightaway you can share over Bluetooth, Email, <b>MMS</b> or any other network you've already set up, or you can tap "Add account".To get back to the thumbnails, tap to bring up the share menu and pull from left to right.
@peterleinchen, I clicked through the ZenDesk and Jolla site for help articles and I agree, it's not the most logical of manuals out there.
If you start from the "obvious" place: https://jolla.com/support/ You end up to the Jolla Phone user guide ZenDesk page (https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/201076457-Jolla-Phone-user-guide).
From there you can back up two levels to the ZenDesk "main menu", and go to product usability section.
Luckily, there's search (https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=send+mms) . :)
