The Ins and Outs of Electronic Mail

(Our AGM will be held during the first 10-15 minutes of this meeting.)

Speakers: Chris Taylor and Alan German, Ottawa PC Users’ Group

E-mail systems are used by almost everybody but not necessarily well understood by all. This presentation will cover the basics of webmail and E-mail clients, POP and IMAP, and the settings required to access mail servers. Security is an issue for everyone and we will discuss the evils of spam, spoofing and phishing. To help keep your messages organized we’ll look at mail folders and filters, backing up and transferring messages, mail folders, and address books. Finally we’ll see how portable and disposable addresses can be used to give your E-mail that personal touch.
