MYHOME.mail handles your password and private mail messages. To ensure your privacy and security, please note the following points:
1. Before using
Some browsers, such as Internet Explorer 5.5 or later versions, have an "Auto Complete" function, which stores the ID and password you filled in HTML form in the browser. When using someone else's PC or sharing PC, please switch off the function before logging in MYHOME.mail.
2. After using:
When you finish reading or writing mail messages, or when you leave your work sheet, do not forget to click on the "Logout" button. We strongly recommend you to exit your browser to clear "browser cache".
3. Keep your mail password safe:
Please keep your password private and secure. We recommend that you choose a password different from your User Login Name, Mail Address, or numbers such as "1111", which could easily be guessed.
