We work with inter-related and complex systems on a daily basis. Problems at one location not only impact a single desktop, but can easily spread to others, for example viruses. Therefore it is important not to install software, download files, or alter desktop configurations without coordinating those actions with department technical staff. Respect E-Mail as another form of correspondence and communication. Composition and sending of electronic mail is to be shown the same respect and concern for others as exhibited in normal correspondence methods, i.e. memorandums, letters, announcements, etc.
Electronic mail is for communicating business information in a professional manner.
Electronic mail is not for the sale of items, such as extra event tickets or candy, chain letters, or gossip. If you wouldn't put it in an envelope, don't put it in an e-mail message. E-mail is sent unencrypted and is easily readable. Be careful when sending replies, make sure you are sending to a group when you want to send to a group, and to an individual when you want to send to an individual. The safest way to send the mail is to forward and address the mail directly, instead of using the reply command.
