 Groups : AFSC - Outlook (10) | |  | | ABCs of Email stand for Alert, Bulletin and Community distribution lists. Community lists replace the All Staff Email lists. | | | | You will need to set up an Outlook profile in order to open an additional Outlook mailbox on a PC used by someone else. You must already have an account on the AFSC mail server in order to set up an Outlook profile. | | | | To add a second mailbox in Outlook, in addition to your own mailbox, go to Tools--Email Accounts--View or Change Existing Accounts--Highlight “Microsoft Exchange Server”--Change--More Settings--Advanced--Add, and type in the Name of the mailbox. | | | | After upgrading Internet Explorer to 7.0, some emails may print without the header information. There is a workaround, but there is no official (public) release of a hotfix from Microsoft yet. | | | | PST files, Personal/Archive Folders in Outlook, should be used minimally, because of an increase in our email server capacity. These Personal Folders were kept on the user's local drive and not on the server. | | | | PST files reside on your local computer and are not backed up nightly. Move email items from a Personal Folder (.PST file) to your mailbox on the AFSC Exchange Server. | | | | If you repeatedly send a single email to the same group of people, create a Distribution List in the Contacts section of Outlook. | | | | Each Outlook user is allotted 800 MB of space on our server. When your mailbox reaches 775MB, you will be able to receive messages but not to send messages. | | | | Use Outlook Web Access when you want Outlook email over the Internet while traveling. In your Internet browser type https://owa.afsc.org/exchange and enter AFSC\username if there is no separate domain name box. | | | | You can access a full version of Outlook remotely without using VPN. You will need to change the "Hosts" file on your computer to add a couple of static IP addresses so your computer knows where our email server is. | | Groups : Contacts (2) | | | | You can import into your Outlook Contacts from another file or program, or you can export your Outlook Contacts to other programs or files such as Access, Excel, Lotus Organizer, etc. | | | | Contacts can be found as a folder in Outlook. Contacts will be email addresses that are not in the AFSC Outlook Global Address Book. | | Groups : Junk and Spam (3) | | | | Reduce the amount of junk email you receive by following some basic rules about sharing your email address, and by setting up Blocked Senders and Safe Senders lists in Outlook.
| | | | An email anti-spam system called Spam Firewall from Barracuda Networks is available for your Outlook. You will need to train this new system to detect spam more accurately. | | | | The GFI server-based spam filter often incorrectly labels email from listservs as spam. To prevent this, place a copy of the listserv email in the I want this Discussion list GFI folder. |
