Webmail Features (part 1)
Webmail is an extremely useful tool for those of us who check our email from numerous places, but the current InfoWest webmail system has some limitations. There’s one way to get past the limits of webmail, while still keeping your infowest.com email address, and that’s webmail2.infowest.com.
E-mail: I got a message not addressed to me!
People sometimes ask:
“This message was sent to janedoe@megamailcorp.com, so why did I get a copy? Am I getting someone elses e-mail?”
No, you are not getting someone elses e-mail. Actually, the answer is pretty simple really. The answer is that your e-mail address was listed in the BCC of the original e-mail message.
Spam: Does “unsubscribe” really work?
“No RX needed!, Buy this stock!, Get cash now!”
If you have been online very long, you have seen junk e-mail with subjects like the ones above.
Many of the messages contain things like:
* Reply with “remove” in the subject line and we will remove your e-mail address from our mailing list.
* Click here to be removed from our mailing list or something similar
