More email Tasks....

Work managed to interfere with my good intentions to get all the Module 2 tasks recorded onto this Blog a few days ago, anyway back at home again, so here we go.

OK, as I have mentioned before I am not a big user of email, but I explored all the different options. As far as using the cc & bcc and reply all functions goes, I have never had to use these before and until now wasn't really sure what the cc and bcc stood for, now I do and I still really don't foresee myself having any use for these functions in the near future, at least I know what the do now in case I do though.

The next ? was; In what ways can you ensure that an attachment you send will be easily opened?

If you keep your text attachments in either word or pdf format then everyone seems able to open them, myself included. For photos I usually alter there size, etc in photoshop to ensure a quick download for receivers (just in case, they have dial-up like me) which can sometimes take 30min to load a large unmodified photo, I really just don't have the time to wait.


As far as filters or rules that I have set up... Also very basic. NO SPAM!!




I had never bothered with setting up folders before now so thought I would give that ago. I now have a separate folder for friends/family & official mail. This I like & will keep and also probably add more folders in the future. After reading some of the posting on our Uni discussion board I realized the extent to which email plays in some peoples lives (for work/personal) or both. Personally I just don't have that much need for it and only check them 1-2 times a week, I can't even imagine having multiple accounts and having to read and reply to hundreds in a week, urhhh!!

Much rather be drawing or painting :)




The list task I didn't do as I have already had experience with this quite recently and it is not for me, personally I did not appreciate and inbox full of sometimes (most-time) unrelated posts to sift through, so I unsubscribed. I do however receive monthly newsletters from several different organizations and company's that I look forward to and enjoy.

This is my dog TANK. He likes Australian made, loves the left over peanut butter (has to be Kraft though). It is Australia Day after all...

Communicating by Email

To be honest I am not a big user of email, preferring to text as it is more reliable for my friends and I as far as getting a quick answer etc. I do utilize email for sending photos and I really like the way forms etc can be sent to you instantly for applications and such. I really don't send or receive enough emails to worry about having everything organized but have tried out alot of the suggested options and quite like having a few folders set up to separate official and friend/family emails, so have learnt something useful there.
We were asked to find what information about a users email, the origin of the message, the path it took, could be found in an email message.


The information below can be found for each email you receive. This is the info for a message sent to me from curtin uni for this unit. As you can see it contains the the info of where the message came from its destination (my email provider) what filters etc it went to, and the date and time, subject etc. Useful if you want to be sure exactly where a message came from before opening any attachments.
