Interesting question, maybe folders under "local folders" are your
locally created folders and anything else is from gmail or hotmail?


What are you using to access the email:

What is the meaning of the letter o in front of the 3 next sentences?
Just curious.

o the webmail interface (i. e. you're using a browser)?
o a mail client, collecting by POP?
o a mail client, collecting by IMAP?

A common way of doing bullet points in text-only situations. (I could
have used 1. 2. 3., I suppose. Or ".", but IMO a lower-case O looks
better.)


I knew what you meant by the o, but I don't like the way it looks. I

It's not ideal: it probably depends on the font being used. In the one I
generally use (some variety of Courier!), I think it looks reasonable.

think it's likely that some people would get confused by it, as Rene

Except that of those, only * is plain text. In most cases these days,

Anything you add for security will slow the computer but it shouldn't be

the primary use of the computer.
