MWGIC EP-000105: Peppermint 10 Linux Demo

Have you been trying to revive an older computer? Have a PC that's running Windows 7 and either don't want to pay for Windows 10 or your hardware won't support Windows 10? Concerned about all the problems with Windows Updates in the past couple of years? Consider Linux for Desktop. It's free and open-sourcce, and as this demo shows, pretty easy to use, sophisticated, and there are tons of free applications/apps/programs available for it. Take a test drive around Peppermint 10, based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but lighter.

1. Header flag bits for receipts and orders that cause automatic starring & block deletion.

2. "Delete all from sender" (except receipts & orders) email cleanup tool.

3. "Delete Lock" to prevent deletion of a message during email cleanup options.

4. "Block Sender" option to cut down on spam.

5. Multiple addresses for the same account to allow separation of business, personal, special projects or intetests.

6. Google "suggestion box" address accessible only from within Gmail for submitting ideas like this list. Address is invisible and hidden from users, and always defaults to being in the BCC field to prevent spammers from discovering it. Address is receive-only, never sent from.

7. Users are credited publicly for ideas that Google uses, on a permanent basis.
