Good+House+keeping+for+E-Mails

There are a number of points that you should consider in establishing your // E-Mail // Connections and functions.
 * Good House keeping for E-Mails **

First you should have a minimum of three ( 3 ) // E-Mail //Addresses Why? One for **Home/Personal** use One for **Office/Banking/Insurance** etc. One for **On-Line** i.e. **Newsletters Contests** etc. Also consider if you were to change servers e.g. Talktalk-BT-Tiscali you would loose their free ones. So establish ones with e.g. Google BeeB, and you will always have your // E-Mail // Addresses, irrespective of whom you sign up with.

If you start getting Spam on one of your addresses you must seriously consider closing that address, why because they will not go away in point of fact they increase similar to the Wizards apprentice. I know that it is a nuisance, but Spam is a bigger nuisance Yes ?
 * Spam **

If you use Cyber Café or someone’s computer always clear your tracks. In other words close down the **//Browser Window.//** Then Go to :- **//Tools > Internet Options >//** ( and then the three buttons ) **//Clear History > Delete Cookies > Delete Files.//** If you do not do the above the next person can see who you were and all about you.
 * Other Locations **

If the information you wish to convey is important why not pick up a telephone, then you have eliminated the // E-Mail // Going astray**.**
 * Confidentiality **

Always use the BCC facility ( Blind Carbon Copy ) Why ? because this eliminates people seeing who else you have sent the // E-Mail // to. If you don’t everyone can see all the other addresses and this in itself could assist a spammer, were the to acquire one address. If in replying you click the **Reply All** button your reply will go to all the addresses on the original // E-Mail // //So a//lways use **Reply**, and ignore the **Reply All** button
 * Multiple E-Mails **
 * Reply or Reply All **
 * Forwarding **
 * Always **** delete all the addresses on any **// E-Mail // ** which you forward ****, **** this is another way to stymie the Spammers. **

If you use your cell phone or a Blackberry to collect your mail, you can be sure that it is safe? However, the software on your mobile device will not keep the e-mails you check on the server for very long. Consequentially certain e-mails will not be on your home or office computer later on when you need them. And if you delete them from the mobile device, they will be deleted from your Inbox as well. So check the default settings on your mobile device to make sure they are set to keep the e-mails until you get home. Deleting It is not gone for good see my other tip on Archiving, and even then the E-Mail will stay on the servers computer until something replaces it, or it could even stay on the server’s back-up or years. Also if you use Gmail ensure if you forward it to tick/check the box which reads Delete Gmail after forwarding. **Remember nothing beats Good Housekeeping**
