Once your account is moved off of Novell, you will no longer manage your SPAM settings through Edgewave’s Red Condor.  All Junk Mail settings will be managed through Outlook. Any suspected SPAM messages will be delivered to Outlook's "Junk Email" folder.

Managing Sender Lists:

• Click Home > Junk > Junk Email Options.

  
   

• Safe Senders List:  Similar to the “Friends” list in Red Condor, mail addresses and domain names in the Safe Senders List are never treated as junk email, regardless of the content of the message. You can add your Contacts and other correspondents to this list. The Safe Sender limit is 1024.
   
• Safe Recipients List:  If you belong to a mailing list or a distribution list, you can add the list sender to the Safe Recipients List. Messages sent to these email addresses or domain names are never treated as junk, regardless of the content of the message.
   

• Blocked Senders List:  You can easily block messages from particular senders by adding their email addresses or domain names to the Blocked Senders List. When you add a name or email address to this list, Outlook moves any incoming message from that source to the Junk Email folder. Messages from people or domain names that appear in this list are always classified as junk, regardless of the content of the message. The blocked sender limit is 500.

Changing your password while you are off-campus will not work using Microsoft Outlook Web Access. As a result, NCC has rolled out a new password maintenance tool that will allow you to perform password maintenance tasks while on or off campus.

Please follow the instructions below to change your password.  You do not need to "reset" your password if you still know your current password and it has not yet expired.

1.  Navigate to https://password.noctrl.edu
2.  Enter your current NCC username and password and click "Sign in."
   
3. Click "Change NCC Password"
   
4. Select a new password that meets the requirements presented on the "Change NCC Password" screen. As you type your password in the "New Password" field, it will be evaluated for strength.  Please choose a password that is rated as "Strong." Retype the password in the"Confirm Password" box and click the "Change Password" button.
   
5. A box will appear indicating that your password is being changed.  Please do not close out of your browser during this process.
   
6. When the process is complete, you will receive a message confirming that your password change is complete. Click "Continue."  You will automatically be logged out.
   
   IMPORTANT: The password reset tool will only work to reset a forgotten password if you have already logged into the tool and configured your security questions.  If you have forgotten your password and have not already provided answers to your selected security questions, you will have to visit the ITS Help Desk in Carnegie 110 with a picture ID to have your password reset.

Request a Read Receipt:

Groupwise allowed you to see the delivery and read status of any message delivered to an NCC email address.  While Outlook doesn’t have this, it does support a similar feature called “read receipts.” 

1. From Home tab, click the New E-mail icon.
2.  Navigate to Options tab, and From Tracking pane click the check-box next to the Request a Read Receipt option to request a read receipt for this message.
   
3. Click Send
4. By enabling this option, the recipients will be asked if they are willing to send a read receipt back to the sender.

Note: If the recipient agrees, you receive the receipt in your inbox. The receipt will show the time/date of the original message and when it was read. This feature can only confirm that a person has read an email; it does not confirm that a person has not read a message. It is possible for a person to have read your message without returning a read receipt to you.
