List of Free Emailing Tools to Fight off Spam and Scamers and Keep a Clean Inbox

This post features the major Email tools I have covered here during this week. We all have issues of some sort with our emails. Some complain about being  overrun with spam and wondering how to stop that; others claim to be victims of suspicious and fraud emails.

Call for action emails, emails prompting you to click on certain links whose sender you never heard tale of, should  really raise a red flag for you. What is even worse  is that you get emails under the name of one of your friends thinking that it is him only to discover that you have been dumped by a scam. I would highly advise you to watch what you click on. You can use a little trick I always do before clicking on a link. Just hover your mouse over the link and look down on the left side of your screen a will see a bar  popping up containing the URL of that link. Compare the URL displayed in that bar with the link included in the email.
For instance you would get an email prompting you to click on a link that reads about Educational technology  but when you hover your mouse upon it you would see a URL that directs to a porn website or other website that has nothing to do with the link. Do not click when there is a mismatch .  Anyway this is just one tip among hundreds  available for vigilant internet users. I will probably cover some of these tips in a single post in the future. For now you can try these Email tools they are equally important.`
