Setting up contacts

Use of CC and BCC

Cc is shorthand for carbon copy.

Archiving

There are quite a few unread s, these should all be read and deleted if needed to maintain good inbox format These deleted items need attention and to be deleted from the deleted items folder This exclamation mark means high importance and should be read immediately An in-box rule has been created to send certain e- mails that regularly arrive that are spam. They all go to the Junk Mail folder.

BASIC RULES: Company Policy (Acceptable Use Policy) Decide what mail is important – read messages with high importance first then you can save the message in to an appropriate folder or delete it Set up in-box rules for dealing with spam/unwanted messages from people who usually send spam/insults Keep your in-box organised, move mail in to folders or delete messages regularly. Permanently remove ‘Deleted Items’ once you are sure the messages are no longer needed. (following company policy all unwanted s should be archived/saved or permanently removed at the end of each month) All s with attachments should be dealt with appropriately, the attachment saved to a folder and the then deleted. (Company etiquette rules state that with attachments from unknown sources should be deleted immediately.) This is the deleted items folder showing messages that have been dealt with.
