When I write long emails I get kicked off in the middle. Why? What can I do to prevent my losing emails halfway?

For security reasons, a session that is idle for more than 60 minutes is automatically logged out. Therefore, if you are editing one letter for more than 60 minutes, you will automatically be logged out and the system save your work in the Draft folder. Notice that you can also save your work in the Draft folder, this is a good idea if you are writing long emails, because your computer can stop to work in the middle, and this also reset the idle time. Another option is to use the Monitor function in order to keep being logged in.

Can I use the nickname in Safe-mail other than in the address book?

Since the address book is an integral part of the system, Safe-mail allows you to use nicknames within all of the system.
This means that you can enter a nickname in any field of the system and it will treated as if you entered the email address of the contact that is identified by that nickname. For example, entering a contact's nickname in the the Message Board's "Read permission" field will identify that contact to the system and set her or his read privilege. It is possible to enter a group's name to get the same action for all members of that group.

In the fields To:, CC:, BCC:, etc., what is the difference between  a nickname and an abbreviation?

Safe-mail's default domain is "Safe-mail.net". This means that instead of sending an email message to "support@SAFe-mail.net", you can simply write "support" in the "To:" field. Safe-mail will check if there is a nickname "support" in your address book. If not, the system will interpret it as "support@SAFe-mail.net . In case you have such a nickname ("support"), the message will be sent to the email address, which is identified by that nickname.
The data in your address book has the highest priority in the interpretation of names. In case you want to send a mail to "mark@SAFe-mail.net" and you already have a nickname "mark" for "marktawin@domain.net", you must enter the full email address "mark@SAFe-mail.net". Otherwise the message will be sent to "marktawin@domain.net".
