The inbox rule is good for keeping organised as you can save specific s into folders. The inbox rule would also use for spam, you could create a folder for spam and set an inbox rule for the specific contacts that continuously send you s.

16. If there is a lot of s in your inbox it is bad as you might not be able to navigate and locate s as easily. If the inbox is too full it will start to slow the application down or maybe stop s from getting to you. If it is a problem with spam look back at page 15 on how to make an Inbox rule. It is important to keep on top of your s, once you have read it delete it or save it into the correct folder so that it will not be lost. Doing this means that your inbox will be organised and you will always be able to see what s need reading. You should prioritise your by reading the ones with high importance first, the decide if you are to keep it or not. You should permanently delete s in the deleted items folder at the end of each month to follow company policy. Only do this if you are completely sure you do not need the . Once you receive an with an attachment you should check that the attachment is from someone you know and trust before you open it, if not delete it straight away (this is company policy). If you need the attachment you should save it to an appropriate folder in your documents and then delete the .
