• Microsoft Outlook Express (as well as many other email programs) have a preview pane that allows you to read an email without double clicking it to open it.  This feature causes a security risk with your computer and should be turned off because it means that you must open an email prior to deleting it.  Please follow the link below to learn how to turn off this feature;

Email Usage Tips

• How can I prevent non-solicited email from reaching my inbox? 

You have two good options for achieving this.

1. Your first option is to create a Spam Filing rule in Outlook Express that allows only mail from your approved list of senders to get to your inbox, everything else goes to your Spam Trap folder.  You can still review the items in your Spam Trap folder but they don't clutter your inbox anymore.  This method requires you to maintain the list of approved senders and add new people you wish to receive from to your list.

2. Your second option is to use Junkin Web Services Automatic White listing feature associated with your Junkin Web Services email account.  With this feature turned on the mail server will reply to all senders of mail to your account requesting confirmation that the email is legitimate.  Typically, only the real humans will reply to these messages and all of the automated SPAM senders will not even exist.  You can also manually add some addresses to your White List so that email from know sources such as newsletters, tracking information and purchase confirmations can make it to you.  You also have the ability to check your White List hold queue by using the Junkin Web Services Mail Portal.  Please review the following web page to learn more about setting up Automatic White Listing.

• Delay your outgoing messages, increase productivity!

By changing your Send/Receive options to not send your message until the next scheduled Send/Receive cycle you give yourself the opportunity to modify an outbound email before it actually leaves your computer.  We recommend extending your Send/Receive interval to 20 or 30 minutes to allow plenty of time for a message to remain in your outbox before being sent.  The other advantage of this is that your inbound messages don't come quite as often and therefore don't interrupt your work cycle as often permitting you to focus on your work.  You can always over-ride this extended time by simply clicking on the Send/Receive button to force it to check for new mail.
