First impressions matter, especially in business when your end goal is to attract clients and customers. This statement is even more accurate when it comes to email business communication, as people are becoming more and more selective when it comes to their inbox. Spam emails and promotional offers from unwanted sources tend to make people wary of opening a new message, and this is where your professional email address comes into play. Learn about Mailbird – the top Windows email client that provides you with the best managing options for a growing business! We are going to give you a few elementary examples about the importance of a professional email address that we’re sure have already happened to you in one form or another. Imagine looking for the perfect wedding photographer, and of course, you want a professional, who is affordable, but still good at his job. While you’re searching through the web and getting irritated because you have already seen way too many people on Craigslist that don’t quite fit the criteria, a struck of luck hits you, and you find “the one”. You’re browsing the online catalogue of finished projects with wedding photographs, and they look great. Also, the price list is within your range, and you’re ready to hire this person — until you check the info and it says contact: [email protected] Do you still want to hire him?

Microsoft Outlook hat sich einen Ruf als umfassender E-Mail-Client erarbeitet. Vollgepackt mit Funktionen, Einstellungen und sonstigen Extras, ist er eine leistungsstarke Anwendung. Sind Sie jedoch kein Power-User, der viel Zeit und Geduld in die Beherrschung all ihrer Funktionen investieren kann, sind es wahrscheinlich sogar zu viele. Es kann überwältigend wirken einen E-Mail-Client mit einer Benutzeroberfläche voller zusätzlicher Funktionen zu navigieren. Aus diesem Grund suchen viele Nutzer nach weniger komplexen Alternativen zu Outlook. Alternativen die z.B. nur grundlegende E-Mail-Client-Funktionen wie E-Mail und Aufgaben/Kalender bieten. Dazu kommt, dass viele der Alternativen nicht nur weniger überwältigend sondern auch kostenlos sind – oder zumindest nicht so teuer wie Outlook mit einem Preis von mehr als 100 Euro. Wir haben eine Liste mit E-Mail-Anwendungen zusammengestellt, die Sie bei Ihrer Entscheidung eine Alternative zu Outlook zu finden hoffentlich unterstützen kann. Die besten Alternativen zu Outlook 1.

Ein häufiges Anliegen neuer Mailbird-Nutzer, die mit Mailbird nicht vertraut sind, ist, dass es nicht so viele Funktionen wie Outlook bietet. Dies trifft jedoch nicht zu.

For the first few minutes after an interview, you feel relieved and proud all at once. The hard part is over–the actual interview–but now comes the dreaded wait. Did you nail it, and get the job? Or did they hire someone else? Don’t let this anxiety over the response stop you from positioning yourself as a better candidate. An interview follow up message is key to that venture, so make sure a thank you email after the interview is on your to-do list! Here is a comprehensive list of interview thank you emails. Feel free to use them word-for-word, or just the general feel of the wording. Either way, they will provide a great idea of how to write a great follow up email! 10 Sample Thank You Emails After Interview General Follow Up Email After Interview Dear Mrs. Carlisle, It was a pleasure meeting you today.

Are you tired of managing multiple accounts across different email platforms? The average person has at least two email inboxes: one for personal use and one for work. It isn’t terribly difficult to manage a pair of email addresses, but what if you have more? What if you have a personal account and multiple work accounts for different jobs? What if you have a current personal account and multiple other personal accounts from your past? Such as college email addresses or email addresses you made in your teenage years? Handling Multiple Email Accounts At some point, you will probably find that disabling your older and less-used email accounts makes the most sense. In some cases, you might not even have a choice in the matter. Your college may disable accounts of former students. Former employers will probably shut down your old accounts, too. In other words, there’s something to be said for consolidating your email as much as you can. As long as you give friends, family, colleagues, and other contacts your most current email address, consolidation shouldn’t put you at risk for missing many important emails. However, if you do have three or four current email accounts, it can be a real blow to your productivity to have to check and manage all of them on a continuous basis. This statement is especially true if your emails are scattered across multiple email platforms. You have one Hotmail address, a Gmail address or two, and an old Yahoo account that…
Why POP3? IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) support was launched in October 2013. Since then we received an overwhelming response for POP3 (Post Office Protocol) support too. This was much to our surprise considering many new email providers are moving away from POP3, and onto IMAP, due to the performance benefits and because it’s a better fit with the way email is accessed today on multiple devices. But….that’s not all! Read through to the bottom to see what folder manipulation is all about. What the heck is POP3? POP3 is an abbreviation for Post Office Protocol 3. It’s the third version of a widespread method of receiving email, dating back to the 1980s. Much like the physical version of a post office clerk, POP3 receives and holds email for an individual until they pick it up. And, much as the post office does not make copies of the mail it receives, when an individual downloads email from the server into their email program, their copy of the email on the server is removed. Most clients however, including Mailbird, have an option to leave the message on the server, either temporarily or permanently. Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail.com) supports POP3, but recently introduced IMAP support. “One of the major issues with Microsoft’s Hotmail replacement, Outlook.com, is you could only access it on the web or, with email clients, through the POP3 or Microsoft’s EAS protocol.” – Lifehacker. A lot more devices and services use IMAP, and now so does Outlook.com. Even Windows 8 Mail no longer…
Suntech City Singapore was once again swarmed by International startups exhibiting to more than 5000 attendees with 4 Stages hosting inspiring and talented speakers from all over the world. This years Tech in Asia conference was the best one yet. We wanted to share some of the highlights from our experiences at this TechInAsia sponsored event.

Thanks to this over-the-shoulder experience with so many amazing tech influencers, we found out what exactly it is that amazes most of Mailbird’s users, what triggered most of their questions, and what they felt needed improvement or clarification.

Witnessing over and over again how people enjoyed their experiences with Mailbird at the conference, and being there to discuss with them exactly how well it helps…
