what is; spam, hidden text & flags?

Answer 1

Spam is e-mail that is for advertising, bad advertising. And their products are legitimate. Like penis pills and v.v.

When you flag an e-mail, it's like placing it in elite status. You flag because maybe you want to read it later.

Go to your e-mail home page and click on help. There should be a tutorial.

Answer 2

Spam is junk mail. This is what I found on hidden text:

I think a flag is a programme that is marked as suspicious, but I'm not too sure of that. However, if you have a good antivirus and firewall package (too many to mention on the market) you will be relatively safe from these threats. A good one will also include a spyware scanner, but in case it doesn't try Spybot Search and Destroy, which is free. Be sure not to have 2 of the same kind of programmes (anti-spyware, for eg.) otherwise it will cause conflicts on your computer.
