days then you may end up deleting many good mails without checking.
2 Use a fast internet connection ---- Broadband is best .It gives
speed of 256 KBPS . However for individual users speed of
128 Kbps is also enough. Most of the Indian big
cities have ISPs that can provide fast speed at a reasonable
price. Cable ,DSL are good . Avoid dial up .If you check your
mails in a Cybercafe where ten computers are connected to a
single dial up connection then it will be no fun.
3 Choose Individual mail option to receive group mails .If you
choose digest option then all images and attachments are
lost and there are merely text mails .
4 Most people have at least three Email accounts --- one each
in Yahoo ,Hotmail or Rediff or in gmail. Keep one account
for fun mails and another for personal corrospondence.
5 Create folders for different kind of mails -- one for
video files ,another for jokes or images. This will prevent
cluttering of your inbox .
6 Keep deleting older mails . It is true that email services
now provide much bigger mail boxes nevertheless it is
still better to delete older funnies.
7 If you have a POP connection then remember that some
link based images can only be seen online.

preferably.
