Tech Tip

The holiday season is right around the corner and scam artists and spammers will be out in full force to contaminate your computer, hi-jack your information or make offers that seem too good to be true.  You have to be strong and use common sense.  The adage "if it sounds too good to be true ..." applies in the electronic age more than any other time.  If an email is out of character for someone you know, question it, they should know that something has happened to their email.  Delete suspicious or unknown emails with attachments, it only takes a milisecond to hit the delete key as you go through your daily email.  Be sure to empty deleted items from time to time.

The end of the year is a good time to do some email filing. For example, select all those messages in your inbox from January 2010 to August 2010 and move them to a subfolder within Outlook, Entourage or OWA.  This could speed up your email retrieval and actually make it easier to find that one email that will answer all your project questions. Did you know that the search in Outlook, Entourage and OWA is quite robust and will allow you to search in all your email folders at one time?
