Your Official Mail ID

What should you use it for apart from official mails?

We all use it for personal mails and in companies where you dont get access to your personal mailbox it is your only line of contact to the outside world, but what kind of personal mails do you use it for?

Yesterday I got this mail from one of my friend where she has tried to collect some donation for a charitable educational trust they have started.

I would never use my official mail to promote these since you may end up with people associating your company with these charitable trusts - your company WILL NEVER EVER like this.

Also never use your Official Mail ID to send mails that have these “send to 20 people and you will get lucky” these are called chain mails and this really pisses corporates off.

Remember that no mail you send via your official mail id is private, the company as access to all your mails and if you need to send private stuff use your personal mail id which is a bit safer.

Act wisely it is better to be safe than sorry.

PS: Anybody wants a GMAIL id post a comment I have a few left which I can give out.
