Many E-mail programs have the capability to encrypt messages. Senders seeking additional security can place a password into a Word or WordPerfect document prior to sending it. The authorized recipient can then enter the password and open the document. In computer programming, a filter is a program or section of code designed to examine each input or output request for certain criteria and then process or forward it accordingly. Other filters can be set up to route predefined mail types to designated folders, simplifying E-mail management.
Users can also program automatic responses.
I'll get right on it. E-mail folders can be thought of as electronic storage bins for messages. By dragging and dropping messages, uses can pull E-mail from the inbox and sort it into specific categories, simplifying organization. Folders can be created for different clients, matters, types of correspondence, listserv postings, friends and family. Many personal information managers, such as 3Com's handheld PalmPilot and Palm III units, allow users to exchange address information between office PCs and portable systems.
