Spyware and Malware Protection
The latest TV commercials by Macintosh “I’m a Mac / I’m a PC” are having an affect on the Industry. Perhaps it’s not the affect that Macintosh wanted. The first widespread botnet or virus affecting MAC’s has been detected. The botnet is being spread through pirated copies of the iWork application and is currently affecting a few thousand Mac’s.
-- as CNN notes, it's another ominous step toward the end of the Mac's free ride on the security train, as malicious hackers target the increasingly popular computing platform now that it's in use by a significant enough number of people to merit attention.
Security is one of the most important parts of any network whether Windows or MAC. You can trust that Iowa Solutions will do our best to protect you and your network from these vicious attacks.
Create Search Folders to find messages fast
Search Folders are a quick and convenient way to look at predefined collections of e-mail messages. They don't actually store any messages themselves, but instead are virtual folders that offer a view of all the messages depending on the attributes you set. In Mail, on the File menu, point to New, and then click Search Folder.
Flag for follow up
You can flag e-mail messages, tasks, and more with colored Quick Flags to help classify them or mark them for action. Flags can remind you to follow up on an issue, indicate a request for someone else, or set a reminder for a message or contact. You can use the six colored message flags to identify items for different kinds of follow-up. For example, use the red flag to mark messages that require immediate attention and the blue flag for messages to read later.
