purposes

automatically

2. To protect your email account from


spam
Manage emails automatically
 Filters can automatically receive and categorize
your emails in different folders.
For example , you have subscribed a newsletter
and you don’t want to receive its emails to your
inbox , but you are interested to receive its
emails in another folder , so that you can see
them in your free time , you can use filters for
that purpose
Your inbox should only show your important personal emails.
Newsletters , reminders and offers should be send to other
folders
Protection from spam / Bulk emails

 Filters can also save you from spam


and bulk emails
You can notice that bulk and spam
emails contains subjects in which
some common words are used , for
example “free”, “join” , “sex” and “porn”
, “medicine” , “offer” , “congratulations”
and “win” etc etc
How to create filter
 Filter is actually a condition in which
you can decide that when this type of
email is received it should be placed in
that folder.

Spam protection in yahoo

always.
For gmail users
 Gmail don’t have folders in it . They
say that we don’t like to make folders ,
don’t manage mails , just search them

 Gmail also have filters and spam
protection, see your gmail setting
Protect email addresses
 Don’t forward chain letters without
removing hundreds of email addresses
from them
 Don’t forward emails to your friends
using CC: . Instead of CC: always use
BCC:
 Using BCC will forward your emails
without forwarding email address lists of
your friends and family members
Write your own address or Batch 07
Group address in TO field.

Write your friends addresses in BCC

By doing so , you will receive a copy of your email back


to you and your friends will also receive a copy of your
email without any problem. Email addresses are not
distributed to all the email list by doing so.
Protect email addresses
 Don’t fill out websites forms un-
necessarily with your emails address
 A lot of greeting card websites collect
email address for spamming. You
should be aware of such websites
 Never ever reply spam or junk email.
Replying spammers confirms them that
their target email address really exists.
Protect email addresses
 Don’t try to unsubscribe spammers.
When you try to unsubscribe a website
which is spamming on your email
address , because it again confirms
the existence of your email id.
