Several uncommon methods to protect mailbox Security

E-mails have become an important means of our online life or online work, especially for online work. The security of e-mails is particularly important. We have also used many methods to secure e-mails, it also plays a major role in Email Security. In addition to some common methods, there are still some methods that need to be explored. Here we will introduce several methods of email security that are not frequently used by many users.

1. encrypt the personal folder

In fact, both sent and received emails are stored in a folder. Like normal folders, we can also set a password for the personal folder of the mailbox, this is even more important for multi-user operating systems. The specific setting method is: open Outlook and find the "personal folder-Outlook today" window (this interface is opened by default), move the cursor to "personal folder-Outlook today, right-click, select "personal folder", select "advanced" in the pop-up dialog box, and then select "Change Password" in the pop-up dialog box, in the pop-up "Change Password" dialog box, enter the old password and new password (as shown in ).

2. Use of filter rules

For some time, because I didn't use certain filtering rules in my company's dedicated mailbox, The results showed that there were thousands of spam mails on average every day, as a result, I had to find a few useful pages, and the page turning speed was not ideal. I was exhausted. In addition, sometimes spam occurs. In fact, no matter which mailbox is used, you can set filter rules to restrict spam.

To create a filter in Outlook, go to Outlook 2000, select "rule wizard" under the "Tools" menu, and open the "rule wizard" setting window. Click "new" in the right column to add a new email filter rule. Another "rule wizard" dialog box is displayed. In the Rules wizard, you must first select when to use the rules you want to set. Generally, we select "check when the email arrives" (as shown in ).

 

Click "Next" and select the check conditions here, because many junk emails are not sent directly to you, but will receive them again, if Outlook checks whether the recipient of each email has your email address, it can probably tell whether it is spam. Therefore, select "my name is not in the recipient box" in the filter condition, and then press "Next ".

In this interface, you need to select how to process emails that meet the preceding conditions. Generally, we will move them to the specified folder, of course, if you do not need it, you can directly select the "delete forever" option. If you only select "delete it", Outlook 2000 will put the email in the bin, and the email in the bin can be recovered at any time. If you delete it permanently, you can directly delete it and cannot retrieve it. In the lower part of the "rule wizard" window, there is a "rule description" column. Click the underline "specify" in the last line "Move it to the specified folder". Here, you can select the folder to move it.

Click "Next" to create some "exception" rules as needed. Unless you want to add "not from the personal or distribution list", simply press "Next. Finally, a name is given to the rule to complete the entire process. In addition to being useful for spam, this rule wizard also plays a significant role in dealing with viruses. You can also set the email to be detected when it arrives. If there is a virus, the virus will not work as long as we do not open it.

3. Back up data

Similar to systems and servers, OE can also back up important data to prevent timely recovery when data is lost or damaged. By default, OutlookExpress emails are saved in the C: WINDOWSApplicationDataIdentities {region} MicrosoftOutlookExpress folder. The symbols in {} are not fixed and are related to the computer environments of different users, copy all the files in this folder to E: mymail, and then click the "option" command in the "Tools" menu in OE, in the "options" setting window, select the "maintenance" tab, click the "Storage folder" button, and click the "change" button in the pop-up "storage location" window, specify the storage location E: mymail folder, and click OK. In the same way, we can transfer the address book. The address book file of OutlookExpress is saved in the C: WINDOWSApplicationDataMicro-softAddressBook folder and saved in the folder. copy the wab file to another folder, such as E: mytx Registry Editor. Find the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWABWAB4WabFileName sub-key branch in sequence, and change its default value to its own folder E: mytx.
