In the Example above Cached Exchange Mode is selected. This option prevents Outlook from fetching live data from the Calendar. If a person tasked with updating a group calendar, or the calendar owner, is operating with Cached Exchange Mode enabled his/her updates may not be applied to the calendar until Outlook is closed, opened, or the "F9" key is pressed. In Cached Exchange mode offline-file caches have to be forced to synchronize with the Exchange server.

Unselect "Use Cached Exchange Mode". This will automate calendar synchronization.

Click More Settings...

Click the Advanced tab.

Unselect Use Cached Exchange Mode.

Unselect Download shared folders.

Click OK.

Click Next.

3.4. iOS 6.2 upgrade help

Apple releases iOS 6.1.2 to fix Exchange calendar bugs

http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/19/4005406/apple-releases-ios-6-1-2-to-fix-exchange-calendar-bugs

4.1. I'm Getting SPAM from Myself

Here is why

Recently a syndicate of SPAMMERS has created bots that skim for email addresses loads them to a database then spoofs the sender's email address and applies it as the recipient address. The result is the recipient looks like the sender. This technique circumvents many SPAM filters and client based rules.

Here is the fix

To resolve the issue we have asked users to create an email filter that compares the sender's email to the recipients email address. If the two are identical then the email is diverted to the junk folder.

The School of Business DOES NOT apply filtering at the server. All email filtering occurs by the email client (the software that connects to the School of Business Exchange Server).

As you appear to be a Mac user Apple Mail, your likely email client, would be responsible for running filters and removing unsolicited email (SPAM) from your accounts.

Here is how to fix it

Windows

For more information about how the School of Business filters SPAM

http://helpspot.business.uconn.edu/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=299

4.2. How Does The School of Business Filter SPAM

Mail passes from the senders' mail servers to SPAMSoap which uses a Stacked Classification Framework spam detection system to filter mail.

Intercepts include but are not limited to:

• IP Reputation – An intercept guided by a frequently updating list of  IP addresses with a known reputation for sending spam
• Anti-Spam Multi-Language – An intercept which identifies image-based spam, phishing emails, and multi-language content that continually updates based on real-time feedback from a global network of users.
• Statistical Filtering – Based on Bayesian algorithm this intercept uses probablitistic filtering of keywords and compares content to known spam messages.
• Sender Policy Framework (SPF)/Sender ID – This Intercept checks if the message has an associated SPF/ID record. If originating Internet Address is authorized mail will be received.
• Heuristics – An Intercept of successfully established industry-wide rules.
• Proprietary Heuristics – Vendor-authored rules based on specific threats or customer requests and real-time data from the console logs.
• URL Filtering – Comparing embedded links found in email messages to those of URLs found in messages identified as spam.
• Real-Time Black Hole List (RBL) – A trust Intercept comparing the Internet address to a RBL, which rates the reputation of the RBL based on its accuracy at blocking spam.
• Deep Content Analysis – A filter that analyzes messages to determine if the content or  attachment contains spam or malware.
• Distributed Deny Lists – Comparison using distributed black lists, real-time subscription services such as Mail Abuse Prevention System (MAPS).
• User-level black and white lists – Through SpamSoap quarantine reports, end users have the flexibility to create personal allow and deny lists.

Filtered email not considered spam is delivered to the Exchange Server. No filtering takes place on the Exchange Server and it is delivered to end-users' mailboxes.

Each users Outlook client runs end-user created rules to further analyze mail and sort it to a Junk Mail Folder or Deleted Items. Because these are end-user preferences Exchange Administrators have no ability to change user initiated rules.

4.3. How to Create an Outlook Junk Email or SPAM Filter

 

Manually Add Unwanted Senders to the Blocked Senders List

You can block messages from a specific sender by adding the sender's e-mail address or domain name to the Blocked Senders List. Messages from addresses or domain names in this list are always treated as junk. Outlook moves any incoming message from senders in the Blocked Senders List to the Junk E-mail folder, regardless of the content of the message.

1. On the Tools menu, click Options to open the Options dialog box.
2. On the Preferences tab, under E-mail, click Junk E-mail to open the Junk E-mail Options dialog box.
3. Click the Blocked Senders tab.
4. Click Add.
5. In the Enter an e-mail address or Internet domain name to be added to the listbox, enter the name or address that you want to add. For example, you can add :
   • a specific e-mail address, such as someone@blupills.com
   • an Internet domain, such as @spamsoap, or spamsoap.com.
6. Click OK.

 

 

Add Senders to Junk Email List

Mail that is screened by the Outlook mail client is diverted to a Junk E-mail folder or it can be sent to deleted items. It is important to purge these folders regularly especially if email quota space is at a premium.

To create a new  Junk mail filter open your Outlook Inbox and right click on the mail item(s) you wish to filter.

 

Right click on the message and scroll to Add Sender to Blocked Senders List.

This will force all mail from that sender to the to the Junk E-mail folder.

Once added to the Blocked Senders List your PC will need to be running and Outlook will need to be running for the rule to be active.  Or it will be run the next time you login to the PC and open Outlook. This is known as a "client-side rule" these filters will not work though Outlook Web Access https://mail.business.uconn.edu unless the PC that is running the rule is powered on, logged in and left in the "locked workstation mode" and has Outlook Running.

 

 

Creating Custom Rules

Right click on the mail message you want to create a Rule for.

Scroll to and select Create Rule...

In this example any email with a Subject containing {SPAM?} (which is inserted by the UITS email appliance) Sent to me only will be moved to the Junk E-mail folder

 

Select the options for your rule.

 

4.4. How to Prevent Emails from Going to the Junk Email Folder

Marking Email and Senders as "Not Junk"

Open Microsoft Outlook

Go to the Inbox Screen

Select the "Junk E-mail" folder

A list of mail items will appear on the right preview pane.

 

Right click on each mail item that is not considered junk

Scroll to and select Junk E-mail

Scroll to and click on "Mark as Not Junk..."

 

Follow the prompts to confirm each sender you would like to continue to receive mail from.

All mail from that sender will now be directed to the inbox instead of Junk e-mail folder.

 

 

Adding a Sender to the Safe Sender List

Mail that is screened by Outlook is diverted to a Junk E-mail folder. Mail that is filtered and identified as SPAM by SPAM SOAP is identified by a message sent to your mailbox from SPAM SOAP.

If mail is going to the Junk E-mail folder open your Junk E-mail folder. If you have moved the mail to a new folder, open that folder.

 

 

Right click on the message and scroll to Add Sender to Safe Senders List.

If mail from a specific domain is going to the Junk E-mail folder select the option to Add Sender's Domain (@example.com) to Safe Senders List. It is recommended that you use this option sparingly and avoid adding sender domains that are known to be havens for SPAMMERS such as Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail.

Once added to the Safe Senders List your Outlook will need to be open and running for the rule to be active.  Known as a "client-side rule" these filters will not work though Outlook Web Access https://mail.business.uconn.edu unless the PC that is running the rule has Outlook Running.

4.5. How to Add an Address to The SPAMSoap Allow or Deny List

How to add an address to the SPAMSoap Allow or Deny list

1.       Open your Spam Quarantine Report (in your email inbox, usually sent daily by reports@spamsoap.com)

 

2.       Click on the link: View List of All Quarantined Messages (bottom-right)

 

 

3.       A browser window will open with your complete message quarantine information.  Click on "Allow/Deny" (top-right)

 

 

4.       To have any address be set to automatically be ALLOWED (i.e. whitelist), simply type or copy the sender's email address into the "Add Entry" field under the section: Allow List.  Then click on the "Add >>" button.

 

5.       To have any address be set to automatically be DENIED (i.e. blacklist), simply type or copy the sender's email address into the "Add Entry" field under the section: Deny List.  Then click on the "Add >>" button.

 

6.       That is all that is necessary, you may now click on the Logout link at the top-right of the window.

 

 

Or

 

Call  866.SPAM.OUT (866.772.6762)

Provide the Agent with:

First name, last name, email address (full first name. last name @ business.uconn.edu)

And the Domain Name business.uconn.edu

Or complete the support webform http://www.spamsoap.com/support/

To Consolidate your Spam Quarantine Reports into one report

You may receive several spam reports every day.  This is because you have multiple email aliases, and SpamSoap does not recognize all the different aliases belong to one account.  For example, John Doe may have the following aliases:  John.Doe@business.uconn.edu, jdoe@business.uconn.edu, and jdoe@sba.uconn.edu.

To find your different aliases, simply look in Outlook at the subject line for the Spam Quarantine Report.  Below you will see an example of Quarantine Reports sent on the same day to 3 different aliases:

Rather than receive 3 or more separate spam quarantine reports every morning, you can set SpamSoap to send you 1 report with messages quarantined for all your aliases:

1.       Open your Spam Quarantine Report (in your email inbox, usually sent daily by reports@spamsoap.com)

 

2.       Click on the link: View List of All Quarantined Messages (bottom-right)

 

 

3.       A browser window will open with your complete message quarantine information.  Click on "Setup" (top-right)

 

4.       Now click on "Aliases" (top-right)

 

5.       Type or Copy your email alias into the field under "Add a User Alias..."  Note that you will not need the "@business.uconn.edu" suffix of the address.  Click on Add when you are done.

 

6.       After you click add you will see this message:

 

7.       This is because SpamSoap needs confirmation to add the alias to your account.  Go to Outlook and find the message from Support@spamsoap.com titled "Alias Email Address Authorization."

 

8.       Click on the link: I authorize this request.

 

9.       A browser window will open and take you directly to the Aliases page, and you will see your new alias listed.  You can now continue to add more aliases, or Logout.

10.8. What to Do When Outlook Will Not Open an Attachment

Problem:  Outlook has reached its limit for saving copies of a temporary files of the same name.

The error message that is displayed is: Can't Create file: filename.xxx. Right-Click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder

 

Why this is happening:

When Outlook opens an attachment, it saves it to a temporary folder.  When it opens an attachment that has the same name as a file that is already in that temp folder, it incrementally appends a number to the name. Once it reaches (99), Outlook will no longer open attachments of that name.

• Example:
  Tri Campus Reports.xls
  Tri Campus Reports (1).xls
  Tri Campus Reports (2).xls
  Tri Campus Reports (3).xls
  ...
  Tri Campus Reports (99).xls

 

Solution:  To find these files and delete them.

Here is the website that has the instructions that helped me figure out where your files were.

http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2007/08/cant-create-file-outlook-error-and-the.html

The key is to go into the registry and find the temp filepath, which is listed at the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security, under the key OutlookSecureTempFolder

COPY AND PASTE THAT FILENAME INTO WINDOWS EXPLORER. If you try to navigate to that path it will be hidden and you will not see it listed.

 

An example path would be:

C:\Documents and Settings\nmoore2\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK4

 

Once you delete the files, you will be able to open these files again.
