E-mail problems

Article Abstract:

E-mail has many benefits, but also has drawbacks, as not everyone has access to it. E-mail addresses must be entered exactly or an error alert will show. Junk e-mail can also be a problem if they clog up the file server and prevent important e-mails from being delivered. It is also important to update anti-virus software regularly. Certain e-mail client programs offer the capability to 'mood stamp' messages.
