1. Introduction
  Electronic Mail better knows as Email. Email is cheaper and faster than a letter, less
  intrusive than a phone call and less hassle than a Fax. In last one decade, email became
  one of the important medium of communication worldwide. Unfortunately, Most
  people still are not able to effectively use the Email communication in the best possible
  way.

  With this document we intend to simplify manner “A Basic Guide to Mastering Email”
  author is one of the internationally recognized Internet Expert with experience of more
  then 15 years in managing email and Internet Infrastructure.

  This white paper by IndSoft Systems [http://indsoft.net] with inputs from experts is
  written to help businesses or individual, how they can have an efficient email setup
  (Corporate or Personal) with Ease, Secure, flexible to grow their business and save time.

  Never forget, every email address whether it’s corporate or personal email has a value.
  mis-management can lead to the under utilization of Business resource or waste of
  valuable human capital.
2. Before you start you email account.

     a. Go for Best and reputed Email Supplier (Web Host.)
     You should choose your web hosting provider with care. And that’s not an easy task.
     So, how do you identify the best web host? Here’s a quick web hosting checklist
     we’ve compiled for you:

     Reliability: Web Host or Email Solution provider should be reliable and must have
     few years of expertise in webhosting business. Never select web host based on just
     competitive pricing. Web host who appears to be cheap at start could turnout to be
     very expensive at later stage.

     Customer base and Background check: Talk to Customer Care Executive before
     signup and try to get few lists of reputed customer they serve and numbers of years
     in business. Never sign up just by looking at website or looking at competitive price
     list.

     b. Protect Your Internet Brand.
     Register all Internet Brands [companyname.com/.net/.org/.in/.co.in/.biz] same as
     your Business trademark to protect your business brand from Internet theft and
     Protect from Business Competitors. Your domain name is part of your Business Email
     id. (i.e: Murphy at indsoft.net where Murphy is name of individual and Indsoft.net is
     internet brand) so try to Buy all major top level domain extensions (.com, .co.in, .us,
     .in etc) for your domain name to prevent against theft and your web traffic being
     misled.

     c. KISS: Keep It Simple and Small Email Address.
     Always Keep Small and easy Email Address and Domain name so you can
     communicate fast over Phone or person can remember easily if it’s very simple like
     info@ge.com or support@ba.com (ba.com is short form of Company Name) same
     way individual can keep small and easy email id like ceo@brand.com or vp@gm.com
3. Email Security

        a. Email password Management.
        After creating Email address next step to look at security points. It’s always advisable
        to keep a strong password. Create your password with a string of alphabets,
        numerals and special characters [@#$%] to make it strong. And it’s always advisable
        to change it frequently. Never store password into files or write into dairy. Always
        keep password in MIND.



        b. Enable Junk Email Filter.
        Reputed Webhost provide Junk Email filter or spam Filter as a part of Email Solution.
        Many webhost also charge extra. So always make sure your Spam Filter is Active
        with your email account. It helps you to prevent your email box from unwanted
        emails from unknown people.



        c. Beware from Phishing email or unknown attachment link
        Many times, you will get email from multiple banks, Paypal, E-Bay and they will ask
        to enter Login/Password to re-active your account. This is known as phishing emails
        to get login/password detail of user and possibly misuse such critical data. Reputed
        websites will never ask for your password over email. Same way, never click on any
        unknown email attachment; they may contain dangerous Malware/Virus Scripts.
        Never download any attachments or Double click on a file or an email which has
        come from any unknown email address. Double Clicking on unknown attachment
        can send your system and email password detail to hacker.
4. Protect your email box from spam email (Junk email).
Spam mail or junk email means unwanted email into your email. Many times you can see more then
50%of Inbox message filled up with Junk email. Contents of such email are not useful or relevant for you
that’s why it’s called as JUNK.



            Protect your email box from Email Harvesting and spamming.
            Most of time your email address gets picked up to spamming list by software called “Email
            Harvesting”. Email harvesting is software or script which runs on internet and collects Email
            address using standard technique. So its always advisable not to keep email address on
            website or post it on public access webpage. Many techniques also available to protect
            website from email harvesting. It is always advisable to use the email as name at domain dot
            com. This prevents the email id’s being harvested by the software. If you wish to display on
            your website then display your email address with image file.

            Create Alternate ID for subscription, Social media and for blog.
            Never use your corporate/ individual id for any news group or for social networking website.
            Always create separate email address for blogging or any public activity on internet. Because
            once your email address goes to spammer they will keep sending you Phishing email or
            direct marketing email.



            Unsubscribe from unknowns mailing list.
            Always keep habit to Un-Subscribe your Email address if you get email from unknown or
            unwanted mailing list. This can prevent you from any future email by specific mailing list. As
            I told in previous point keep separate email address for subscription or public website.
5. Email Etiquette and Email Productivity Tips to become an email master.

.

         a. Make Email your Servant (Not your Master)
         Your email is not your work; it’s simply a tool to help you do your work. But like any tool it
         can be ineffective or even dangerous when used wrongly. Here few tips on “how to make
         email your servant not your master.”

         Check your email at specific time interval:
         Check your email at designated times. This won't work for some jobs. But always remember
         “Your Work is more important then just checking an email.” Keep habit to check your email
         two or three time in a day.

         Message Title or Subject line.
         Subject line is very important for every email. By looking to Subject line Recipient should get
         basic idea about your email purpose. So Always Compose Clear Subject. If you're delivering
         a report or information, Subject line can be “Delivery Report for XYZ." Or “ Information on
         XYZ”.

         Use Email Templates to reply fast:
         Create templates for routine replies. Creating templates helps you respond back emails
         quickly. It also helps you know when to telephone. Unless you need to send the same
         message a group, or keep a record of what you said when to whom, the phone may be
         faster.

         Create a Dedicated Signature
         Make sure that your signature contains complete contact details. It might be a link to your
         Website Address, E-mail Address, and Phone etc. Signature makes your work easy. You just
         need to type your message rest should be automatic cover by your Signature.
Keep your Message Short and Simple.
           This benefits you and the person on the receiving end of your email, particularly if that
           person is busy like you. Like: Cut out unnecessary words and sentences, Address the
           essential: not everything warrants a response. And use paragraphs liberally. It’s easier to
           read, and makes your email more approachable.

           Structure your mails by Specific Directories/Folders:
           Folders are there to help you organize your mail. Firstly, use a relevant naming system to
           what you’re doing. If you’re biggest priorities now are (1) South Project (2) North Project,
           then name your folders as that.

           Maintain your contact list.
           Your contact list is a valuable asset that rewards attention and maintenance. In most cases
           when you receive an email from a new business contact then you should add them to your
           contacts immediately. Years later you might want to contact them and it is important to
           have their details. It is handy to sort your contacts into different categories – social,
           customer, supplier etc. Take a back-up of your contact list separately from your main
           computer so that you still have it even if disaster strikes.


Final Note:
Having an Email address is an Important business tool which gives flexibility and optimum level
of time management, So one must follow correct process that will bring usefulness and
flexibility.
Happy Emailing!

Email harvesting is software or script which runs on internet and collects Email address using standard technique. So its always advisable not to keep email address on website or post it on public access webpage. Many techniques also available to protect website from email harvesting. It is always advisable to use the email as name at domain dot com. This prevents the email id’s being harvested by the software. If you wish to display on your website then display your email address with image file. Create Alternate ID for subscription, Social media and for blog. Never use your corporate/ individual id for any news group or for social networking website. Always create separate email address for blogging or any public activity on internet. Because once your email address goes to spammer they will keep sending you Phishing email or direct marketing email. Unsubscribe from unknowns mailing list. Always keep habit to Un-Subscribe your Email address if you get email from unknown or unwanted mailing list. This can prevent you from any future email by specific mailing list.

  • 8. 5. Email Etiquette and Email Productivity Tips to become an email master. . a. Make Email your Servant (Not your Master) Your email is not your work; it’s simply a tool to help you do your work. But like any tool it can be ineffective or even dangerous when used wrongly. Here few tips on “how to make email your servant not your master.” Check your email at specific time interval: Check your email at designated times. This won't work for some jobs. But always remember “Your Work is more important then just checking an email.” Keep habit to check your email two or three time in a day. Message Title or Subject line. Subject line is very important for every email. By looking to Subject line Recipient should get basic idea about your email purpose. So Always Compose Clear Subject. If you're delivering a report or information, Subject line can be “Delivery Report for XYZ." Or “ Information on XYZ”. Use Email Templates to reply fast: Create templates for routine replies. Creating templates helps you respond back emails quickly. It also helps you know when to telephone. Unless you need to send the same message a group, or keep a record of what you said when to whom, the phone may be faster. Create a Dedicated Signature Make sure that your signature contains complete contact details. It might be a link to your Website Address, E-mail Address, and Phone etc. Signature makes your work easy. You just need to type your message rest should be automatic cover by your Signature.
  • 9. Keep your Message Short and Simple. This benefits you and the person on the receiving end of your email, particularly if that person is busy like you. Like: Cut out unnecessary words and sentences, Address the essential: not everything warrants a response. And use paragraphs liberally. It’s easier to read, and makes your email more approachable. Structure your mails by Specific Directories/Folders: Folders are there to help you organize your mail. Firstly, use a relevant naming system to what you’re doing. If you’re biggest priorities now are (1) South Project (2) North Project, then name your folders as that. Maintain your contact list. Your contact list is a valuable asset that rewards attention and maintenance. In most cases when you receive an email from a new business contact then you should add them to your contacts immediately. Years later you might want to contact them and it is important to have their details. It is handy to sort your contacts into different categories – social, customer, supplier etc. Take a back-up of your contact list separately from your main computer so that you still have it even if disaster strikes. Final Note: Having an Email address is an Important business tool which gives flexibility and optimum level of time management, So one must follow correct process that will bring usefulness and flexibility. Happy Emailing!
