Out of office reply.

An out of office reply is a email that is sent automatically when you are not there. For example you go on holiday and you receive a email an email will be sent to the sender of the email stating that you are unavailable at the time.

Staying safe.

When using emails there is a large threat to your safety and privacy. You should be careful to not open any emails of which you do not know the origin of as they can carry viruses that can damage you computer and files. You should never trust a email that has a web link  that is asking for you bank or any other details even if the page looks professional. If this happens get in contact with the company or website and find out more information and if its true or not.

Spam Filters.

Spam Filters recognises and processes incoming emails that are not wanted by the receiver and automatically places it in the spam/junk folder on a email account. They are quite accurate but you should still monitor the files in case there are any mistakes made by the program.

CC and BCC

CC stands for Carbon copy this means that anyone selected will receive an exact copy (or a carbon copy) of the email you are sending. anyone that has be listed to receive that particular email will also be able to see the other people the email has been sent to. 

BCC stands for Blind carbon copy this almost does the exact thing as a CC however instead of all the receivers of the email being able to see who else got the email, BCC makes receivers invisible to each other.
