Set It & Forget It!

You need email software to do this such as Microsoft Outlook or Eudora. If you get your email by logging into a web site you most likely can't do this at present. In your software settings look for email signatures. Usually you have to create a simple profile and you can then configure multiple signatures for all your accounts.

Top 4 Email Signature Tips

  1. Use your email signature to display all your company detail such as your name, company position, business postal address, business web site url and not forgetting the all important logo.
  2. If you configure more than one email address you can setup different signatures for both and the software will automatically use the correct signature when you 'reply' to an email.
  3. Keep your logo small and make sure it is the dimensions you require so your email software don't have to resize it.
  4. Make good use of font colors and sizes.

Free Software Will Help Save The Day

There is lots of really great software these days that might just save your email server. Just search for anti virus software and malware software. There are free options but generally these are just for home use.

Top 5 Virus & Spam Prevention Tips

  1. Never click a link in an email unless you were expecting to receive it. Hover over it to see the actual web address and not just the intended text.
  2. Be cautious of email attachments. It is one of the easiest ways to get a virus or malware spam. Read the text properly and if you are suspicious leave the email and attachment. If its from a real person they will usually get back to you.
  3. Beware of fake invoices and payments made to you. This is a very popular way of getting you to click and get a virus.
  4. It is highly unlikely you have won the Nigerian lottery.
  5. Don't ever hand over money in any medium through an email alone.

Email Configuration

Imap Or Pop 3?

Choose to look after your own emails. When you log into a pop 3 email server the server delivers your email which is then stored on your device locally such as your computer drive and is then deleted from the server. Imap is still stored on the server after delivery where it remains until you delete it. Imap email is NOT stored on your computer locally.

Microsoft Office Has Outlook

If you have Microsoft Office then you have Microsoft Outlook. Look on your start menu for it. When you first start Outlook you have to add your email account so have your details to hand.

Top 4 Configuration Tips

  1. We choose Pop 3 as we like to be responsible for our own email.
  2. If an Imap mail server suffers data loss your email could be lost forever.
  3. Make sure you have good, up to date anti-virus software.
  4. Make sure you configure your signature in your mail clients options.
