You should be able to retrieve messages that you “permanently” deleted in the last 14 days.
From the Outlook ribbon, select Folder > Recover Deleted Items. The form that opens is a bit clunky but it lists all items that were permanently deleted in the last 14 days.
Click the “Deleted On” column header until the listed is displayed with most recent at the top, click the item you want to restore and then click Recover Selected Items.
The mobile Outlook app is just another email client and, as such, the method of connecting the app to your Exchange mailbox is very similar to the method for any other email client. Click here to read detailed instructions. You will need your account details, which would have been provided to you by your admininstrator or in an email from us.
If you use Outlook on our Desktop, the Junk E-mail filter will not work.
Click the menu, Actions > Junk E-mail > Junk E-mail Options
to see this message:
“The Junk E-mail Filter is not available for your Microsoft Exchange e-mail account because you are working online. To enable the Junk E-mail Filter for this account, switch to Cached Exchange Mode.”
If you don’t see this message, you have probably ticked the “Please do not show me this dialog again” box some time in the past.
Also, it is not possible to switch to Cached Exchange Mode on a Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) platform.
So, although the options form then subsequently opens, the options you enter will not be used.
This environment is imposed by the Microsoft software architecture and will be the same on any remote desktop platform.
We monitor the software environment continually and will improve this if ever it becomes possible to do so.
Share your Contacts or share other Exchange users’ Contacts by sending a “Share my Contacts folder” invitation email from your Contacts menu in Outlook.
When sharing your Contacts with other Exchange users, the recipient of the share invitation email you send must be selected from the TO field and from there your Global Address List or your Mailbox Address List to ensure that the Exchange mailbox and Active Directory user are properly identified.
DO NOT type the email address manually or select it from the cached dropdown list as the Exchange user might not be properly identify, in which case the share invitation will fail.
On-Demand Quarantine Email Report
You can now request a quarantine email report on-demand by sending an email to the dedicated email address [email protected]. The email needn’t have a subject or message content and should have no other recipients. The report will list spam and possible spam emails received in the current day. It won’t affect the scheduled reports (see below).
Spam Learner
If you receive spam emails that are not being quarantined, you can help us learn from this by forwarding these emails to the dedicated email address [email protected], which will update our database with details from the original emails. Note that it will not blacklist the sender. Blacklisting a sender is not recommended because spammers often forge this value.
Reminder: Quarantine Email Report
You will know that you receive scheduled emails from Prelude Reporter entitled “Summary Email Report” that contain a list of spam and possible spam emails sent to your email address, your aliases (if any) and distribution lists (if any) that were intercepted since the previous scheduled email. Use the links in the report to view and restore emails that have been wrongly identified as spam or possible spam.
From Click to launch a new outgoing email to this sender in your local email client.
Subject Click to view the message on our AntiSpam server, from which you can add the domain or email address to your white list and restore the individual email.
Restore Click to receive the individual email, which should arrive in your inbox shortly after.
Note that adding domains and individual email addresses to your white list will make it less likely that future emails received from those domains and email addresses will be quarantined, but it can’t guarantee this because the software uses many factors to evaluate the spam score.
On our platform, we have set the anti-spam policy at a level whereby most obvious spam emails are blocked but, importantly, all genuine emails are allowed. The cost of the latter is that some spam emails are not blocked.
On a managed platform such as ours, if we were to increase the anti-spam policy levels, some genuine incoming emails might be blocked and it would be very difficult for you to retrieve them or even be aware that they have been blocked.
Instead, you can set your own “Rules and Alerts” from the Tools menu in Outlook.
The following link will help you:
Outlook Query Builder uses Windows Desktop Search (WDS), which is a component of the Windows operating system rather than of Outlook or Exchange Server.
WDS is enabled by default on Windows PC operating systems but it is disabled by default on Windows Server operating systems.
This is because WDS has potential to use a lot of memory and disk space, which will have a detrimental effect on the performance of the host machine.
On a single-user PC this effect can be acceptable to the individual user and, if it isn’t acceptable, the user can disable WDS at will.
On a multi-user server environment, the detrimental effect can be severe and will affect the experience of all users. Such a problem would be likely to occur frequently and could be fixed only when all users are logged off and the server rebooted.
Therefore, to ensure the best experience for all our customers, on our Desktop platform WDS remains disabled and Outlook Query Builder cannot be used.
Instead you can use the Advanced Find facility. From the Outlook menu, select Tools > Instant Search > Advanced Find or press Ctrl-Shift-F, then build your search in the Advanced Find form.
