Employee email accounts are available on all MSC
computers. Outlook 2003 on all MSC computers is preconfigured
for the user that is logged on to the machine. So your email
account follows you around to any of MSC's computers.
Employees can access their email accounts remotely
using Outlook Web Access.
When accessing email through Outlook Web Access
your username is as follows:
MSC\%username%
Make sure that you separate MSC and %username% with "\"
not "/"
And your password is the same one you use to log on to the
machines at MSC.

How to use Outlook Web Access on a Windows XP SP2-based
computer
To connect to Outlook Web Access
on a Windows XP SP2-based computer, you must use one
of the following methods.
Method 1 In Internet Explorer, add the
URL for the Outlook Web Access Web site to the Allowed
Sites list for the Pop-up Blocker. We recommend
this action. To do this, follow these steps:
-
On the Tools
menu, click Pop-up Blocker, and
then click Pop-up Blocker Settings.
-
In the Address
of Web site to allow box, type the URL
of the Outlook Web Access Web site.
- Click Add, and then click
Close.
Note We recommend that you use
method 1. Method 1 enables the Pop-up Blocker to continue
to function on other Web sites.
Method 2 You can select the Basic client
instead of the Premium client when you log on with Forms-Based
Authentication.
Note If you do not have sufficient permissions
to use method 1, we recommend that you use method 2. (For
example, you may not have sufficient permissions to use method
1 if you are using a kiosk computer.)
Method 3 You can lower the Filter level. This enables
some pop-up advertisements to appear, but some Outlook Web
Access functionality may no longer work as expected.
Additionally, you can turn off the Pop-up Blocker in Internet
Explorer. However, we do not recommend this action.

Adjunct that originally had a student email account still receive
email at %username%@student.mscok.edu.
However, the primary account has been added to the employee
server and your primary account is %username%@mscok.edu.
You receive email at both addresses. A date to drop the student
account for all adjunct will be determined later.
If you are ready to drop the student account now send an email

MSC uses IHateSpam Server Edition
to help with spam.
The spam folder in outlook is shown by default in Outlook
2003 on the left pane with a folder name of "Spam".
The spam folder in outlook is shown by default in Outlook
Web Access on the left pane, under the folder tab, with a
folder name of "Spam".
Three subfolders are contained under the Spam folder:
The Blacklist
Folder
The blacklist folder provides you with the ability to create
lists of email addresses that you never want to receive messages
from again. For the most part, you will not need to maintain
a large blacklist folder as much of the unsolicited spam email
you would normally receive will be stopped by iHateSpam before
it reaches your inbox, however, if you receive messages that
still slip by from the same sender over and over again, simply
drop one of these messages in your blacklist folder and you
will never receive one of these messages again. It is not
necessary to put messages that are in your quarantine folder
here as they are already being caught by iHateSpam.
The
Quarantine Folder
The quarantine folder is your spam catching folder that the
system has installed. All messages that are determined as
spam messages will be automatically placed in this folder
by the based on your spam detection settings. You can delete
messages or the entire contents of this folder at any time,
and it is suggested to do so as often as you like as to keep
the size of your mailbox free from spam.
In addition, you can drag messages from this folder to any
other folder just like you would a normal email message. If
you would like to apply spam filtering white or black listing
to any message in this folder, just drag the message into
the whitelist folder if you would like any other message from
this sender to never be quarantined again, or drag it into
your blacklist folder if you would never like to receive an
email message from the sender of this message again.
Also, you can delete this folder as well at anytime to delete
its entire contents of spam messages in one easy step. The
next time you receive a spam message, the system will automatically
rebuild this folder and place the spam message in it.
The
Whitelist Folder
The whitelist folder provides you with the abilty to create
lists of email addresses that you always want to recieve messages
from. Any email placed in this folder will never be quarantined.
If you want to always allow an email to get through, such
as email lists you subscribe to, but do not want to add this
address to your contact lists, simply drop one of these messages
in your whitelist folder and you will never have to worry
about an email from that sender getting quarantined again. |
