How Can I Secure My Confidential E-mail From Other Users of My Computer?
With the Mediacom Online, your Internet e-mail is secure:
From other Internet users, whether it is on the Mediacom Online Network or your own computer.
From other users of your computer only before it is downloaded from the Mediacom Online server.
Netscape Messenger® and Microsoft Outlook Express® do not provide password protection for e-mail once it is downloaded to your computer.
The safest way to protect your confidential e-mail is to remove it from the computer by putting it on a floppy disk or printing a hardcopy. With this method, you will also have a backup of important messages.
You can also encrypt files or write the files to an encrypted folder using third-party software.
