Have you ever wanted to add a note to an email for yourself or someone else? The digital age has seen the paper-clipped note go the way of the dinosaur. Today’s software programs may offer electronic notes and comments, but none specifically for email that is also shareable across programs. Until now. LuxSci has a feature in WebMail to add notes to messages that can be viewed by everyone and in most email programs.
Except for Thunderbird and a few others, we are not aware of an email client that lets you make "notes" on email messages… and those that do are only visible in program that created them and not by anyone else looking at the message via IMAP or WebMail. We got to thinking of how useful a note would be that is part of the email message and viewable by anyone, in any email program. The LuxSci email note literally "sticks" with the message as it is forwarded to someone or copied/moved to another email folder.

LuxSci supports a plethora of modern email programs like Microsoft Outlook and Eudora (our blog posting "Head To Head Battle of Email Clients" discuss several of these) and works with any email program and device that properly supports POP, IMAP, or SMTP. However, we do recommend Mozilla Thunderbird in the absence of any personal preferences or specific requirements for things that may only be supported in Outlook or other specific programs. LuxSci’s staff uses Thunderbird with IMAP (or WebMail) uniformly for all email sending and receiving. We discuss the reasons why in the "Battle" blog article. Here, we will give some configuration tips and tricks and recommended add-ons.

There are many reasons why users or administrators might want to have their email data exported and saved to CD or DVD. These include:
- Creation of permanent archives
- Preserving old email that is no longer actively needed, but which should be kept
- Obtaining copies of email data for legal proceedings
- To reduce server disk space usage
- To migrate data to another provider or an in-house solution

LuxSci has been approached by many people asking for VPN (Virtual Private Network) services. When we ask them why, they indicate that they use wireless hotspots (like at Starbucks and other public places) that are insecure and untrusted and they want to be sure that their email is secure and encrypted there.
This is a very legitimate concern. Wireless hotspots are serious danger zones; we have seen many cases of people who have carelessly used insecure connections to email and had their login usernames and passwords stolen in such places. This can lead to identity theft, the leaking of sensitive company or personal information, and other serious problems. Anyone using public wireless hotspots or other untrusted networks for email and other activities that involve personal information need to take care that the information sent to and from their computers is protected. If the transmission of your sensitive information is protected, then you have nothing to worry about and hotspots can be great places to work.

LuxSci has had various people ask if we support sending outbound email via "IMAP" and we have heard people say that they send a message via their "IMAP account". What does this mean? There is actually something behind this.

Email tagging enables you to color code and label your email messages with multiple keywords. This process helps you to both sort your messages into categories and to visually identify particular types of messages by color. This new and more visual system simplifies management of your email, especially if you are sharing your folder with others via IMAP or WebMail.
