For Macintosh email clients and Browsers please go to the Macintosh section for help.
I figured it was time to create a section within the site completely dedicated to email and web Browsers. So here it is, have fun and please report any broken links and or inaccuracies.
TIP: To limit the risk of virus infection thru email on Outlook or Outlook Express, Turn off the Preview pane.Click here to see.Outlook and Outlook Express by default have what is called a preview pane turned on. It shows you the contents of an email in the bottom panel when you highlight a selected email in the top pane.
Now up to about a year ago this really wasnt a problem due to the only way you really had a chance of infecting your Computer with a virus thru email was to click on a file attachment (normally an executable .exe file). Things since then have changed, those very creative virus writers combined with Microsofts email clients (Outlook / Outlook Express) coupled with their default settings upon setup have now created a situation where just simple text emails or emails with a picture when just viewed will or can infect your PC with a computer virus. Turn the "Preview Pane" OFF!
#1. Have a Antivirus program that scans your email and keep it up to date with virus lists.
#2. Turn the Preview Pane of Outlook/Outlook Express OFF.
#3. Or just install Linux : ) ........problem solved forever!
