Webmail and Email Programs – Businessprodesigns.com

This might seem to be obvious question that how do you get your email? But many people are ignorant of the fact that they read their mail online rather than reading it in an email program. You don’t use email program on your computer quite often. You don’t download your email to your computer. What you use in order to access your email is a browser.

When you access your mail through browser you actually download it into your web browser’s reserve temporarily. After a specified time period it disappears. Or else it vanishes when you close the application. Online access to your email is provided by some Internet Service Provider (ISP). You will loose all your emails if you cancel your ISP account as your webmail account will not be there any more.

Both browser and email program are programs on your computer. However browser only offers you the provision of accessing your email by surfing the web. Whereas through email program (like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape Suite) you can retrieve email as well as send replies. It also allows you to sort email into folders.

Webmail gives you the opportunity to access your email in any computer but in that case your important mails are not saved on your computer. On the other hand email program does not offer you the provision of accessing your mail on any computer but your emails are stored in your PC.

Combating Email Spamming – Businessprodesigns.com

Annoyed with email spam? This is a problem that we face more than often. At times it reaches such ridiculous proportions that your important emails get piled up under huge stack of unimportant spam. No wonder then that you want to cut down the spam. Fighting against email spam is not that difficult. You just need to know the right trick. Follow a few tips and your work is done.

Spammers usually follow the email address given on your website. But your email address is necessary for your clients to reach you. Don’t worry. There is a solution to it. In such cases avoid generic email address like .com. Try and use something else.

Another thing that can bother you is “catch call”. Don’t even use a “catch all” which makes it easier for the spammers to get your email address. As a result they will keep on sending you useless emails. The story does not end here. They will sell this id to their fellow spammers. So be ware of “catch calls”. Disabling “catch call” will help you to cut down on the spam.

While creating a website ask your web designers to use email forms. Email forms are safer than plain email addresses. It is necessary to set up your email form in order to exhibit a different message when the form has not been filled out.

The best way to do away of spam is to employ spam filters. Use spam filters on your website email box. You can also use spam filters on your computers. Get rid of spam easily this way.
