When you delete a message, it will be moved to the Deleted Items folder. It will remain there until you delete it, either by emptying the entire folder, or deleting individual messages. After a message has been deleted from the Deleted Items folder, you have 30 days to recover it. After 30 days, it can no longer be retrieved.

Please use these instructions to set up a vacation/or away from office automatic reply email.

You cannot send a message to more than 500 single addresses in one email. If you have more than 500 addresses, you will need to split your list into groups of 500 and send multiple messages.

Alternately, if you will be using your list frequently, you may want to consider requesting a mailing list.

If you have any questions, you can create a ticket in ihelp.

A Junk Email folder is set up on all IUP email accounts via Office 365. The use of the Junk Email folder is to help limit the number of unintentional responses to phishing attempts. It can also enhance the efficiency of email usage by decreasing the amount of spam delivered to your Inbox. Please remember to regularly check your Junk Email folder to ensure there are not messages moved to that folder that may be false positives. If a valid message has been delivered to to the Junk Email folder, you can mark it as non-junk so the email is delivered to your Inbox. Ultimately, it is a personal preference on handling email. Click here to learn more about spam.

From your Inbox, you can mark a message as Junk if you want that addresses identified as Junk. Future email will be delivered to the Junk Email folder.

If you are reviewing the Junk Email folder, and do not want a message to be listed as Junk, mark the message as Not Junk. The email message will be moved to the Inbox as will any future email messages from that address.
