Important Points

1. Remember to check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes, mails go to spam folder because the email software decides that it is spam. Messages more than 30 days will be deleted and you will lose information.
2. Never share password, account information on any email - even if it seems to come from banks, government organization, etc. These are called phishing mails and can lead to fraud.
