Cool
Feature
Did You Know...
that you can create
addresses "on the fly" with
Block-IT? You can guarantee
that an email will pass
through the spam filters
straight to your inbox. A
great use for this is
ordering online. You
definitely want the
communication about your
order, but you don't know if
the company might start
sending you a lot of
unwanted email, or worse
yet, sell your address.
With address-on-the-fly, you
would just enter your
address as you normally
would, but just before the
"@", include a period, then
any other descriptor you
would like. For example,
janedoe.cvs@network-it.net.
If the sender does abuse the
use of this address, you can
go into Block-IT and uncheck
it as a valid address.
Then, no mail sent to that
address would get to
you. If you start to use
address-on-the-fly a lot,
then later get mail in your
inbox you think you
shouldn't get, you can
easily tell how it got to
you by looking at the
control panel at the bottom
of the email. It shows why
it got through to you, and
to which of your addresses
the mail was sent. This is
useful even if you do not
use address-on-the-fly.
Contact us if you haven't
yet signed up for
Block-IT.

Delay Sending Your Email |
|
Most e-mail clients send e-mail as soon as
you hit Send in the message window. Has
that gotten you in trouble before? Instead
of sending each e-mail immediately, you can
let them sit in the outbox.
Outlook is configured to send mail when you
click Send in the New Message window. To
reset this option so that you control when
Outlook sends mail:
-
Go to the Tools menu, choose Options.
-
Click the Mail Setup tab.
-
Click Send/Receive in the Send/Receive
options.
-
Uncheck the Include This Group In
Send/Receive (F9) option in the Setting
For Group "All Accounts" section. Most
of us will set this for all accounts,
but you can configure Outlook to handle
each account differently.
-
Click Close and then OK.
After un-checking the Send/Receive option,
you must remember to click Send/Receive on
the Standard toolbar to send mail. You can
also set Outlook to send e-mail when you
launch or close Outlook, or schedule it to
send and receive e-mail at regular
scheduled intervals. You can either
review each message again before sending, or
let it go. Either way, putting a little
time between creating and sending messages
makes it easier to catch mistakes you might
otherwise missed. |
