Cleaning Emailbox

How about cleaning your mailbox, too?
Here are three quick and easy solutions on how to clean your inbox and keep your e-mail account well-organized throughout the year: It's Spring Cleaning Time.


1. Folders Prevent Your Inbox from Over-Flowing
In case you're like most e-mail users who receive large amounts of e-mails every day it can be quite a hassle to keep track of all them. Important messages may even disappear or get lost.

Solution:
Use folders to organize all your messages by recipient or subject. And if you use the Free Mail Collector, you can even set up individual folders for each of your accounts. To create a folder, simply click Actions and select New Folder.

Advantages:
With folders, your inbox will remain clean. You'll always keep track of messages and find just the e-mail you are looking for much faster.

2. Create Filter Rules for Sorting E-Mails Automatically 
Although, folders help you to organize your mailbox, they don't prevent new messages from cluttering your inbox. Thus, it might still be difficult to spot some really important messages.

Solution:
Set up filter rules. These will automatically route all e-mails to the designated folder. Access your Settings and select Filter Rules to create a rule that will move all e-mails from a particular e-mail address or a company's domain straight to the right folder.

Advantages: 
 By using filter rules, you will save a lot of time and won't miss important messages – since your mailbox will be automatically organized.

3. Get All the Messages You Want – and Only the ones You Want
We employ superior spam protection tools, which sort out all e-mails that fit certain criteria, i. e. a cryptic subject line or the use of specific catch phrases. However, you might miss some e-mails, especially from new contacts, because they will be marked as spam.

Solution:
Use a white list. Simply add the e-mail address of a sender you trust to your white list and you will always receive all their messages, regardless of subjects, attachments etc. In addition to your white list, you can also manage a black list for senders who clutter your inbox with unwanted e-mails. You can easily mark such messages as spam and therefore adding the sender's address to your black list. You can manage both your white and black list manually, under Settings > Spam Protection.

Advantages:
By using black and white lists, you'll get only the messages you want while also making sure that you'll get all the messages you want to receive. With folders, filter rules and black and white lists, your mail account will always be well-organized and keeping your e-mail tidy is like a spring breeze.
