Email is one of the fastest ways to communicate, but unfortunately it may be used in a wrong way, so to make the most of your email account, and to make sure you get all the important messages, and also protect your computer from viruses and spam, you have to know 3 things:
1. How to deal with junk folder?
*Don't write your email address everywhere.
If you found a good jokes website, or a website claiming that you may win $1000000 by just signing up, DON'T unless you are sure this is a trusted website.

This kind of websites or newsletters you sign up for will fill your inbox with commercials, which may download viruses to your computer.
*Some junk aren't junk.
Your mail system is who decide which messages are junk and which aren't, so there might be important messages in your junk box. So you have to check your junk folder continuously, as the messages in junk box will be automatically deleted after a period of time.
*Dealing with junk messages.
If you have a message in your junk and you think it may be an important not junk message, you'll have to look at the sender email and subject suspiciously, because the WIN NOOOOW and 100% FREEEEEEE kind of subjects are obviously not the kind message you want to open, if you still think this is an important message, open it and read it, but don't download any attachments or click on any links unless you knew the sender of the message.
The spammers usually look for your attention to open their message, so they send the subjects like these ones:
"Business proposal", "You won $10000000", "Deadline is next week", or "Job interview TODAY".



2. How to organize your mail?
*Delete unnecessary messages:
The first step in preventing Inbox mess: delete messages that are unnecessary to keep. Take a few minutes each day, week or month to scroll through your Inbox and find messages that you no longer need.
If you have many messages to delete at once, you can select multiple messages and delete them as a group.
*Use personal folders:
Make a folder for similar messages, or messages from the same sender, you'll need this if you receive a newsletter everyday, or if you have a Facebook or Twitter account, these social networking systems will send you a message every minute. So it's preferred to avoid filling your inbox with these messages.
*Use the filtering feature:
Filtering is a feature that will automatically move similar e-mails out of your Inbox and into the folders.



3. How to write a message?
*Keep the length of the message short.
