Email

What makes a good email provider…

Creating an email address to be able to send a mail and, of course, to receive the reply to that mail is very important and relatively simple. Numerous different providers offer the option to set up an email address for free. When looking for a good provider, performance and simplicity should play a role. Some providers charge a fee for using various additional options. However, as a rule, email addresses are free. To access the email address, it is important to choose a mail address that is easy to remember. The same applies to the password, which is needed to access the existing mailbox. These two components should never be made accessible to a second person to avoid data misuse. For this reason, the password should not be chosen too easily, such as a date of birth.

Why email makes life easier

Using email brings numerous advantages with it. They cost nothing, arrive very quickly at the recipient’s end, and are very easy to use. Emails do not first need to be put in an envelope, stamped, and taken to the post office. They arrive at the customer’s or partner’s end within a few seconds. No letterhead is required for either professional or private use. Different folders can be created in an email mailbox so that private mail can be separated from business mail, eliminating the tedious search here as well. The search for letters is thus also eliminated. With just one click, the email reaches the recipient within seconds. It is advantageous to create a copy of the sent business letters here to shorten the search for an important document. However, an email (still) has no evidentiary value in the event of a legal dispute, unless it is provided with a special signature. Unfortunately, disadvantages cannot be ruled out with email either. Due to its fast execution, it can sometimes lead to carelessness, which manifests itself in spelling errors, as well as in grammar and writing style. However, this can be eliminated by using a spell-checking program. It is very important to look closely at who the respective email is addressed to. Just one small typo and the email may end up with the wrong recipient.

Nowadays there are many plugins with which you can manage your emails efficiently (such as the Email Tool Lookeen).
