What does the security tab mean on Webmail?

Have you ever wondered what that Security explanation was on the webmail page home page. Well take a look and you may be surprised to find out that there is a difference between the two log on options ; Public or shared computer & Private Computer .

Two Scenarios:

If you are at home working on that important document you may and you don’t want to have your session time out, you should always choose the Private option as your Security setting.

If you on the road and see a computer kiosk and want to send a quick email or check your email, you should always choose the Public option as your Security setting.
