Understanding Email Aliasing

Email aliasing is a method that forwards emails sent to one email account to another email account. It is similar to the post office forwarding snail mail from your old home address to your hew home address when you move.

For example, let’s assume that your current Internet Service Provider (ISP) personal email address is: yourname@carolina.rr.com. You are also the owner of a business with a web site. You have purchased a domain name and web hosting service and wish to set up different email accounts for customer support, sales support, information about your services, and jobs opportunities. You have four different business email addresses. Your email addresses are support@yourcompany.com, sales@yourcompany.com, info@yourcompany.com, and jobs@yourcompany.com. In order to read all your email you would need to set up and check five separate email accounts, one for your personal email and four for your business. This can be tedious.

Are You Tired of Remembering Passwords?

Are you tired of remembering multiple log ins and passwords? Are you tired of filling out forms with your personal or business information? Then let me recommend Roboform. Roboform is actually different programs in one, an online password manager and a automatic form filler. The software makes logging into web sites and completing forms easier, faster, and more secure.

The data Roboform saves is encrypted and you can protected it with a single password. It essentially puts all your passwords and important information in a safe that only you can access.

Spam

Spam is the term that describes unsolicited advertisements sent by e-mail over the Internet. People who send spam are referred as spammers. Spammers are inundating the Internet with copies of the same advertising message, in an attempt to force the message on the public. The best way to protect yourself in the fight against spam is to learn more about spammers and the email they send.

How to Create an Email Signature

An email signature is a block of text appended to the end of an email message often containing the sender’s name, address, phone number, web site link or other information you wish to share with your email recipients.

Your email signature is an easy way to show people you take your work seriously and what you’re up to. Adding an email signature is not only an easy and fast way to draw attention to your business, it’s free advertising.

Yesterday, we discussed how to Create an E-Mail Distribution List in Outlook. Today we explain “Bcc” or Blind Carbon Copy.

“Bcc” allows you to send an e-mail without showing everyone the e-mail address of the recipients. It also is the polite thing to do. This way you’re not inadvertently sharing a person’s e-mail with a group of people they may not know, by including them in a mass email. You can also use the “Bcc” field to quietly notify a third party that a message has been sent.

Use of “Bcc” for long lists of addresses is important for two reasons:
