Convert PDF to Word (Free!)

Best handling of tables. Almost always a faithful rendition of the original. (5/5) **Excellent** - FreewareGenius Pick (read)
I can't speak for anyone else nor their needs, but PDF to Word Online did exactly what I thought was impossible: retain all formatting!!! ESPECIALLY on this one particular document I needed converted. Seriously, even the spaces at the end of each line were preserved and not converted into a line break nor paragraph break. So, thank you, thank you!" - Megami

E-mail client settings

What is E-mail & What is use of e-mail?
How to create E-mail?
What is E-mail Client?
Why use e-mail client? 

What is E-mail & what is use of E-mail :-  E-mail stands for Electronic mail. E-mail is way of  exchanging digital message from one person to one or more recipients. We can send personal message with any attachment (Any document/picture) to one or more recipients in a moment with e-mail. Each Organization have their own e-mail server for their own network so their employees can exchange files and necessary data with each other in their network only.
There are many free & paid e-mail provider in Internet as well.
In companies System Administrator use Exchange Server for creating e-mail server in windows  while in Linux they use Squirrelmail/Iredmail in their own network while we can make them online as well.

Free E-mail Provider :
1.Google                                 Gmail.com
2.Yahoo                                  Yahoo.com
3.Microsoft                              Live.com 
4. mail.com                             Mail.com
5. Indian mail                          Mail.india.com
6. Aol                                       Aol.com
7. Inbox                                  Inbox.com
8.Rediffmail                            Rediffmail.com 

We can use any one of above link of e-mail provider to create e-mail. I always prefer Google mail (Gmail). We just need to click on any one of above provider and need to click on create an account / create free account / Signup to create free e-mail.

What is E-mail Client:

We already read above that what is e-mail/e-mail use/e-mail provider now we need to know what is e-mail server and what is email client.

if we read the above first paragraph carefully then we all know what is e-mail server. " E-mail server means from where we are accessing our e-mail and where all database is stored or A particular system/computer which stores all database related to e-mail and provide e-mail access to other computer is known as e-mail Server".

If we are accessing e-mail through Web Browser(Internet Explorer/ Google chrome / Firefox )  then it's called webmail.

If we use any software or program which stores all e-mail and provide access to e-mail and we can send and recieve e-mail with that program that is knows as E-mail client.

Why Use E-mail client:
There are various reason for using e-mail client. Some reason of using e-mail clients are given below.

1.  We can store all our e-mail offline with the help of e-mail client so that if ever our Internet connection is not working still we will be able to see previous e-mails.
2.  As we all have many e-mail provider's e-mail so we need to go to diffrent-2 websites to access our e-mail while we can configure diffrent-2 providers e-mail in one e-mail client and can access all e-mails in a single place.
3.  It can be that your e-mail provider website can be down any time then you will be able to see your e-mails in e-mail clients.
4.  We can make a back up of all our e-mails.

Popular free E-mail Clients are:

1. Mozilla Thundirbird               mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
2. Windows Live mail                 Live mail Download
3. Opera                                     Opera.com/computer/mail
4. Incredimail                             incredimail.com/english/download/                        
5. Foxmail                                   foxmail.com.cn/win/en/

While Microsoft Outlook is paid e-mail client . We can purchase it from Microsoft.

Mozilla Thundirbird is very easy and Open source e-mail client . We can download it from above link. It is very easy to configure your e-mail in Thunderbird. We just need to type our name , e-mail address and password then click on next it takes all settings automatically.

There are three protocols which are used to configure e-mail clients.

1. POP ( Post Office Protocol)
2. IMAP ( Internet Message access protocol)
3. SMTP ( Simple mail transfer protocol)

"POP/IMAP is used to recieve e-mails  while SMTP is used to send e-mails".
                                       POP

POP :  This is a protocol which is used to retrieve message from e-mail servers. "POP is  one way communication" it means that POP can download message from server to your e-mail clients but if you delete any e-mails from your e-mail client it will not affect the server.

POP deletes  all e-mails after downloading them in e-mail clients while there is one option in e-mail clients setting that if you want you can leave a copy of message on server.

POP Disadvantage
If you will create any folder or will delete any e-mail it will not replicate on other devices in which you are using same e-mail in e-mail clients.

                                                          IMAP 
IMAP is also used to receive e-mail from e-mail server . IMAP is two way communication. It means if we will delete or add any thing  it will replicate in all devices.

Port Numbers:
 Pop                        110,   995 ( with SSL)
 Imap                      143,  993  ( with SSL)
 Smtp                      25, 465 ( with SSL), 587 ( with TLS)

Beware of Phishing

Beware of phishing and Secure your Account

Phishing is the act of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. some tips which can help you from internet Phishing.
  
1. If Any page ask for Login or ask for credential make sure you are in right website. check website URL before typing e-mail/password."

2. Don't be a part of Social website which is not famous because they can use your information in any illegal way.

3. Do not use unknown software for cleaning your computer because now a days lots of software has key-logger inbuilt in it and they store all your activity

4. Keep Banking password different from any e-mail login or any general password and do not store password on diary or in any notepad"

5. It is my personal suggestion that always keep two debit cards (One private and other for transaction). If you want to transfer money to any online service or want to transfer money to friend/family transfer the exact amount from private account to other account then use other card for any transaction"

I said this because sometimes some sites renew your subscription automatically and even they store your information of card so they can use it any illegal way.

6. Never use third party websites to install any application use original site of manufacturer to install any application"
example: 
for Microsoft   Microsoft.com
for Adobe product  Adobe.com
for Hp  product    Hp.com
for canon canon.com
