Clutter Settings

Friday, April 29, 2016

What is Clutter?

Clutter is an email sorting tool available to all Wright State Office 365 users. Clutter moves your low priority messages out of your Inbox so you can easily scan for important messages. Clutter analyzes your email habits, and based on your past behavior, it determines the messages that you’re most likely to ignore. It then moves those messages to a folder called Clutter, where you can review them later. You can proactively train Clutter by marking items as Clutter or simply move the items to the Clutter folder. You control Clutter from the Outlook Web App (OWA) options menu. If you find items in your Clutter folder that shouldn’t be there, train Clutter by moving the message back to your inbox. 

Checking Your Clutter Folder

  1. Log in to WINGS (http://wings.wright.edu) with your campus username and password.
  2. Click the Email/Calendar button in the top right corner. This will automatically log you in to Office 365.
  3. On the left-hand side of your email, select the Clutter folder.

Turning Off Your Clutter Folder

  1. Log in to WINGS (http://wings.wright.edu) with your campus username and password.
  2. Click the Email/Calendar button in the top right corner. This will automatically log you in to Office 365.
  3. Click on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner.
  4. Select Mail at the bottom.
  5. Select Clutter under Automatic Processing.
  6. Deselect Separate items identified as clutter.
  7. Select Save.

Note: To turn Clutter back on, follow steps 1 - 5, then select "Separate items identified as clutter" and click "Save"

Enhancements to University's Email Spam Service

Tuesday, April 19, 2016

Beginning Thursday, April 21, CaTS will be using Proofpoint's Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) service to help protect against specific threats that are distributed via email, including phishing and targeted attacks. These threats originate from malicious web sites which are triggered when users click on links in an email.

When a link in an email is clicked, TAP scans that URL. If the link is safe, the user will be taken to the original website. If the link is malicious, the user will see a page in the browser letting them know the site has been blocked.

TAP is being implemented as an enhancement to our existing spam filtering service. For more information about TAP, visit https://www.wright.edu/information-technology/security/targeted-attack-p....

For further questions about TAP, contact the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827, or email helpdesk@wright.edu.
