Help protect your privacy

Outlook Web Access helps control junk e-mail and SPAM and block links to external content that allows you to become the target of more junk e-mail messages.

Turn on the junk e-mail filter

2. Under Privacy and Junk E-mail Prevention, select the Filter Junk E-mail check box.  You will need to scroll down in the Options page to locate this section.

3. To add or modify e-mail addresses or domains in your junk e-mail lists, see Manage junk e-mail. E-mail from people on your Safe Senders list will never be treated as Junk E-mail. You can include e-mail addresses or domain names on this list. Select Add to shows the Keene domain set as a Safe Sender.

Blocked Senders List: E-mail messages from certain e-mail addresses or domain names can easily be blocked by adding the sender to your Blocked Senders List. Messages from people or domain names on your Blocked Senders List will always be treated as junk e-mail messages, regardless of the content of the message.

Safe Recipients Lists: An e-mailing list or group that you are a member of can be added to your Safe Recipients Lists. Any messages sent to the e-mail addresses or domain names on this list will not be treated as junk e-mail messages, regardless of the sender or content of the message.

The New button allows other options than just e-mail.

Flag an E-mail Message

Once an e-mail has been received, you can set up a follow-up Flag. From the Reading pane, where the messages are viewed, click the flag icon to the far right. This sets the message for follow-up by showing a red flag.

Users can set it to remind you of Tasks. Recurrence can also be set by selecting the Recurrence icon and setting the recurrence pattern.

Rules

You can manage your e-mail messages by using rules to automatically perform actions on incoming messages. After you create a rule, Outlook Web Access applies the rule to messages that arrive in your Inbox. For example, you can automatically forward all messages with AD in the title to the Active Directory folder when they arrive in your Inbox.

To view your rules, click Rules in the Navigation Pane.

Notes:  A rule in gray type can't be modified by Outlook Web Access because its conditions can not be interpreted or it does not specify an action to perform.

A rule in red type contains an error related to the folder you want the rule to move or copy the message to. Select the rule, click Change Rule, and then correct the rule.
