In practice I use Outlook to send and receive emails. This is set up as a corporate email account to ensure there are firewalls in place to stop any malicious content being sent to my email account and causing issues to the authority's IT equipment and servers.
My email account is set up with an inbox folder and a deleted items folder. I had previously set up folders for specific emails i.e. from my head teacher however the authority was doing a big clean up of their storage systems therefore I saved them to my desktop. As I have a corporate log in only I can access the content on my desktop so it is quite secure.
On my personal email account, I set up folders for specific emails such as insurance renewals, holiday documents etc. This is a useful way for me to keep track of things I need to do.
During the COVID-19 closure, I have been using my outlook account via GLOW to communicate with staff and parents as we don't all have access to our corporate email accounts - I have had use of Mailzen which has allowed me to access my corporate emails from my phone. Via my GLOW email account, I used the BCC option to send an email to all parents regarding transitions, allocation of sessions and updates on our GLOW blog. This made it easier for me to reach all the parents with just one email whilst protecting their data.
