A Mail2World Refresher on Phishing Scams

Hello World,

Here at Mail2World, we're all about our customers. And with the news of the newly formed coalition of DMARC, consisting of a group of companies focused on significantly cutting down on email phishing and other times of consumer-harming messages, we thought…isn’t it the perfect time to write a refresher post on protecting yourself against phishing scams?! We are calling it a refresher because we wrote about phishing in a previous post. But we promise not to bore you with exactly the same information.

In our previous post, we explained that phishing is an illegal attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity such as a bank or domain administrator.

Always remember, Mail2World will never ask for your password. The most we would ever ask for is the answer to your security question.

We recommend that you follow these safety percussions for the protection of your email account:

1. Protect your information. Never reveal your username or password to anyone.
2. Change your password regularly. Use eight to 10 character combinations that utilize letters, numbers and special characters for a strong password.
3. Never go to a Web site from an email link unless you are absolutely sure of the sender’s identity. Instead, enter the legitimate URL that you know directly into the browser’s address bar.
4. If you receive an email from a company where you were never a customer, ignore and delete that message. If they were a legitimate company they would need you to register with their site first.
5. Become familiar with the tricks that scammers use. Knowledge is power, as the saying goes.

Hope that you all found this post helpful. Happy emailing everyone!

Best,
A.B.

Switching to a New Mail2World Account Made Easy

Hello World,

Have you ever wanted to change your email address but didn't know how to port all of your emails over to your new account? Well, here at Mail2World, we have two possible solutions to your problem.

You can use the POP Collector feature to import messages from all your other accounts once you upgrade to a platinum account or request a username change via phone or email to our support department. (this option is only available to users who upgrade to a Platinum account*). The support department will assist you in changing your account’s username to the one you wish. This will also leave you with a new email address to match the username change.

*Platinum users receive the added benefit of having phone and email support available to them!

Some reasons you may need a new account:

1. Your other email service doesn’t have a reliable spam filter and you receive tons of spam per day.
2. Have multiple accounts to check such as (personal, work and business).
3. Multiple username and passwords to remember.
4. Simply want a different username.
5. You are missing features that are important to you from one or more of your other accounts.

The easiest way to aggregate messages from all your email accounts in to one, central inbox is to use Mail2World’s POP Collector. To start using the POP Collector:

1. Go to Options in the upper-right side corner.
2. Go to the Mail Management section.
3. Click on POP Collector.
4. Click on Add POP Server.
5. Fill in the appropriate fields with your account details and email preferences.
6. Click Save or Save and Add Another.

Note: I believe that we are the only hosted email service that allows a username change for a upgraded account.

Best,

Mail2World Announces Key 2012 Business Objectives

The New Year is viewed as a fresh start, a clean slate if you will for most of us. How many of you made and are adhering to your New Year’s resolutions? For us, at Mail2World, we set business objectives instead of resolutions. It’s important to maintain a focus on your resolutions/objectives throughout the year so that you and businesses like us don’t lose sight of the big goals. When setting your resolutions make them bold, ambitious so that your rewards will be equally satisfying when you achieve them. Here are some of Mail2World’s marketing objectives for the year:

• Increase customer engagement through social media. Engage customers, partners, and clients in our business activities via social media outlets and through digital media opportunities.
• Develop more Green IT Initiatives. Create a culture of environmental responsibility by seeking additional initiatives to our Mail2World Green IT plan. Remain a leader in Green IT.  (By the way, we still have one of the most energy efficient data centers around. We previously wrote about Green IT in an older post.)
• Maintain brand/awareness recognition.  Increase Mail2World brand and product awareness and recognition through interactive communication vehicles and vigorous marketing Initiatives.
• Increasing global partnership. Partner with the best-in-class providers and integrators  to innovate and improve product and service offering to customers.

These are the top four objectives that we would like to focus on for this year. I realize that resolutions are easily forgotten or set aside but don’t lose focus! Our business objectives are important to Mail2World’s team in maintaining our leadership in email and collaboration solutions. Work hard to make your resolutions a part of your success in 2012!

Anyone have some business resolutions/objectives they would like to share? Please leave a comment below. Happy emailing everyone!

Happy 2012 from Mail2World!

Happy New Year World,

Another year is gone and we are already five days into the New Year! Last year, 2011, was a very good year at Mail2World. In 2012, we are already hard at work on new product development so we can continue to offer you world-class email.

Some of the upcoming topics we plan on sharing with you include:

• GSMA World Mobile Congress
• New trends in business email
• New product developments and upgrades happening at Mail2World

In 2011, we put the spotlight on quite a few interface features such as Filters and our Mobile WAP, we also discussed more advanced topics such as email headers and how to read them properly, and we shared security and email writing tips. Hopefully, some of you found the information we shared informative and useful.

Stay tuned for more on these topics and much more with Mail2World in 2012.

I wish you all a prosperous and exciting new year! Thanks for following our blog!

Best,
-A.B.
