This is where using an e-mail program like Outlook 2003
comes into its own.
I have mine set up with Filters and Folders where messages
from known sources are grouped into appropriate folders.
I then have an "Unread Mail" option, which presents me with
all my unread mail, grouped by Folder.
It can take a bit of time to set up, but since I receive an
average of 6-700 messages a day, it's well worth it.

Hi.
need some security tips, tricks, and suggestions, if you can
help me out.
Okay at the moment, have my hotmail set to low for my junk
filter.
looking to set this to exclusive.
putting all my mailling lists in the mailling list category,
and putting all
my contacts in the safe list.
now was wondering, the last time i did this about 18 months
ago, lost some of my mailling lists, like bcab, etc.
now, instead of spending hours and trying to remember all my
mailling, discussion groups, news groups etc.
is there a simple, accessible tool, where it would gather
information, collect all the mailling list, and discussion
group addresses, and arrange them like in a database
structure?
any tools like that you came across.
or just do the manual thing, of manually setting it all up.
now, have subscribed with several job online organisations,
like my career, job serve, australian job search, tasmanian
jobs online, byron employment.etc.
now, got my resumae up, and was wondering, do not want my
name and address details showing up on there?
so is it worth closing those accounts down?
now, when sending e-mail, is there any physical way of
hiding the name of the sender.
maybe i am a bit paranoid.
saw a story on today tonight last night about scamming,
incuding on the net.
and one person, accidentally worked for one of these
scamming companies by mistake.
another one almost wired money to one of these companies.
and had the help of the afp.
now, got the third degree from my mum, saying not to
subscribe or order, any
thing, as do not have a credit card, not to give my name,
address, online.
so was wondering, got any tips, for keeping my details,
secure, and safe while on the net.
or would it be safer, when i get my own laptop, hopefully in
the next few months, maybe change my e-mail address from
hotmail, to a provider, where i do not have a lock in
contract.
that a whole story all by its self.
so let me know what experiences, you have3 had of this one.
cheers Marvin.
