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
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. Block external content in HTML e-mail messages HTML messages you receive can include links to external content, such as pictures or sounds. These links aren't the kind that are underlined (hot) and that you click on. They are references in the HTML source code to an external location on the Internet, such as a Web site. When you open or preview the message, your computer downloads the external content so that the picture can be displayed or the sound played. This is typically done by legitimate senders to avoid sending large messages.
However, junk e-mail senders use the downloading of external content by your computer to verify your e-mail address as "live." Once they know there is a real person associated with your address, you can then become the target of more junk e-mail. External content used to identify you in this way is called a Web beacon. To prevent Outlook Web Access from downloading Web beacons, under Privacy and Junk E-mail Prevention, select the Block external content in HTML e-mail messages check box. To have the full use of added functions/features with Outlook on the Exchange 2003 server, users may need to set the https://exchange.purdue.edu URL as a trusted site.

Once an e-mail has been received, a user may 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.

To copy posted messages/files Open the file or email from the left pane, then right-click file or email from the right pane. Either open to view or save to your computer. These are server side rules. Rules override Safe Senders or Safe Domains. 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. When you choose to create or modify a rule, Outlook Web Access checks your Microsoft Exchange server for rules you created using Microsoft Outlook. If you use rules in your client Outlook at your office or home, Outlook Web Access may interpret them differently depending on the version of Outlook you used to create them. In fact, some rules created with earlier versions of Outlook are incompatible with Outlook Web Access. Following are specific limitations to creating and using rules between Outlook Web Access and Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2002.
