Your Mail Client:

“Outlook Express”
I am getting bogged down by a
mountain of mails that swarm my
‘In-Box’!

Sorting them is my morning ritual !

See next slide


Use Mail Filters and Mail
rules to sift through the mails
logically to different folders.

You can read them at leisure.


• Make it COLORFUL
• Play around
• Enhance the mailing
experience
Choose “HTML” as the mail sending format from
“Tools – Options”
• Create a Group in the Address Book
• Give it a Name
• Put all E-mail ids you want in that Group
• Call them by a single name on “To” field
and
• send to all in a fly!
Suddenly thought of sending a file as an
attachment to a mail, while browsing the
Windows Explorer?

• Right click on the File


• you get the Context Menu
• select “Send to” sub-menu
• Click on “Mail Recipient”
• And you are done!
Especially MS Word docs.
(Nobody likes them now-a-days)

Just type the matter in the Word


and Save it as
”Text with line breaks” and insert it
directly on to the message pane.
(No Copy & Paste fatigue)
Create a Group in the Address Book
Give it a Name
Put all E-mail ids you want in that Group
Call them by a single name on “To” field and
send to all in a fly!
I do not want others to
see my Mails when I
am away

Protect your default identity


with a password.
I share my PC with my daughter but
each would like to hide the mails from
the other ! (Hmm! Life is like that !)

Create separate identities on


Outlook Express and protect them
with a password each!
I want to access my mail elsewhere but
want it at Home PC also for keeps.

• Go to Tools > Account


• Select the Account properties > Advanced
Tab
• Select “Leave a copy of the Message on the
server”
Paranoid of virus attack through E-mail?

 Remove the pre-view pane.


 Select Message to view.
 Double click to read
 Escape to close.
• Remove unnecessary Tool
bars and Folder bars.
• Make the program
window look tidy and neat.
Spam has become one of
the facts of life like
taxes!

It’s enough for them to


get one sucker out
of 10,000!
Human Susceptibilities!
 Weight loss pills!
 Fair Skin
 $$$$
 Tax Reduction
 You have won a prize!
You can’t really do it 100%.
But you can control it by some smart moves
(but then it is a game of “One-upmanship”!)

 Use Filters
 Divert them to Bulk Mail in Yahoo or Hotmail
 Never fall into the “Unsubscribe” trap !
 Control the tendency to “Clickety-click”!
• Never flaunt your E-mail id to the whole
world.
• Have a personal E-mail id from an
obscure source.
• It is a good idea to have one Pop id and
one Web-based id.
• Use services like Mailshell.
• It is a smart idea to have a redirector id
like “ pobox.com”
• Never call on any attachment even
from known sources.
• If must, look for suspicious file
extensions like .pif, .rar, .url, etc.,
• If still insist on clicking it, scan it for
virus and God Bless You!
If you are on a “Burning Spree” (I meant CDs!),
follow this discipline to have the best results.

• Use time tested softwares like Nero Burning ROM,


ROXIO Easy CD Creator, etc. of the latest version.
• Select the buffering folder (cache) in the disk
partition which has at least 1 GB free space. This
will avoid “Buffer Under Run”.
• Switch off all programs running on the
background like Screen Saver, Anti Virus, Scan
Disk or Defrag, Scan Registry etc.
• Do not open or close any Window while
the Burning Session is on.
• It will be good idea to suspend internet
during this period to avoid pop up’s, mail
prompts etc.
• Even if your processor gallops at 2.8 GHz
clock speed, still there is a possibility of
data loss, slippage, etc. on the CD.
To expand ZIP files,
• right click on them on the Windows
Explorer and
• select “extract to folder …….”

You can split ZIP files into carry Home floppy


size and Password protect using WIN ZIP.
