A: Did you get my email?
B: No. A: Really? I sent it over a week ago. B: Oh, maybe it went into my junk mail folder by mistake. I’ve got my account set on high security. I’ve been receiving so much spam lately. I almost feel like going back to snail mail. A: It should have gone directly into your inbox because you’ve received email from me before. B: Did you send it as a mass email? A: I did. B: That’s the problem. Mass emails go directly into my junk mail, regardless of the sender. A: Ok, I’ll send it again. B: Alright, thanks.

Phrases and Vocabulary used:
Junk mail:
Junk mail is email that you don’t want. Often junk mail is sent by companies who are trying to sell you stuff you don’t want. The term junk mail can also be used for mail that you don’t want in your regular mailbox. Advertisements, etc, are considered junk mail.
Folder:
This refers to a separate place where you store different classes of email. You have a “junk mail folder” for your junk mail for example.
I’ve got my account set on high security:
This means that you set your email account on a very strict setting. It may only allow emails from your contact list.
Another way to say this is to say;
I set my account on high security.
Spam:
Spam is a form of junk mail, but it refers to junk mail that is sent to many people. Some companies send advertisements to thousands of email addresses at the same time. This is considered spam. Everybody hates spam.
Inbox:
Your inbox is your folder that is for your “good email”. This is the location for the email you wish to receive.
Mass Email:
A “mass email” or a “bulk email” is email that sent to many people at the same time. The difference between a mass email and spam is that a mass email isn’t necessarily mail that people don’t want. For example, you could send a mass email to your friends. Don’t make it too boring though or they will think it is spam!

Hey guys!!!
This podcast has been very beneficial for me, because I have to deal with that every day; it helps me with my understanding and have better comunication with my co-workers.
Now I will be able to apply this vocabulary in my daily conversations; once again thanks for this great job!!!

Hey guys, great lesson, as usual.
Bye bye
I have a suggestion to improve the show… You could post the entire transcript of the episode. Sometimes you guys say words that I dont know outside the main dialog.
Itd be a great Christmas gift!
