When you receive an encrypted email message, a padlock appears next to the subject line of the email in your inbox. A gold padlock will appear in the far right corner of the message. When you open the email, you may be prompted to enter your CAC PIN. If the email was sent without access to your current public key, you will not be able to open the email.
NDU highly recommends that you DO NOT modify your MS Outlook settings to encrypt contents and attachments for ALL outgoing messages, as this may prevent many of your email recipients from opening your email. Encryption works best when the sender and receiver have previously communicated with each other via digitally signed emails, and when both choose and agree to exchange unclassified information that requires encryption.
When you email a message as someone else in Outlook, no reference to you or your account will appear in the email. However, the email message you send will appear in your personal Sent Items folder and will not appear in the Sent Items folder of the person from whose account you sent the email. Information Technology recommends that you always blind copy the owner of the email account so that they can have a copy of email messages sent in their name.
The scheduled email will sit in a folder called Outbox until it is time for it to be sent. While there it remains possible to open and edit the message, then confirm the delayed delivery by clicking Send again (or re-schedule it). (The Outbox folder will/may not be visible unless there is a scheduled message in it waiting to go.)
The scheduled email will sit in the Drafts folder until it is time for it to be sent. The scheduled send time will be shown with the message. This can't be amended as such, but can be cancelled, and then reset. To edit the content of the message the scheduled send time must first be cancelled.

The ability to unsend an email can potentially be life-changing if you protect yourself from sending the wrong message to the wrong person. Unfortunately, most email clients do not include this feature for all email service providers natively. Spike is the best email client for unsending email messages across Google Workspace, Outlook email, Yahoo, iCloud, etc. Spike supports it as an account so that the unsend email functionality will work perfectly.

If you find that you repeatedly send the same message, you may want to create a new template. You can create a template containing any information which will remain constant, save the template, and then use the template to send a new message.
New email accounts are automatically created in HSCLink within 24 hours of the creation of the HSC NetID.
Affiliate accounts do not receive a salud email account. If one is needed, a separate request will need to be made after the HSC NetID has been created.
If a person leaves or retires from the institution their email account will be automatically disabled at the same time as their HSC NetID unless they have been given an affiliate or emeritus role in the UNM Banner system.
Secure email is a system component that allows you to securely send and receive messages containing ePHI and other types of confidential information. Within this tool, secure email protects messages in transit over the Internet. Recipients of encrypted confidential email must maintain the security of the information by storing it in approved areas and forwarding it only to authorized recipients using the encrypted reply or forward option. External recipients can also use secure email to safely send reply messages back to the HSC sender.
If your message is addressed to someone outside of the HSC email system, the recipient will be required to register for a Proofpoint Secure Email Account. A validation code will be sent to the recipients email address, whcih they must enter in the Validation Code Box.
If your message is addressed to a person on main campus (@unm.edu) using an Office 365 exchange account, they will need to follow a different process to access the secure message. Please have them follow these instructions.
Because certain types of email attachments pose a significant risk to HSC users, those email messages, along with their attachments, are automatically blocked by the email system. Common attachments that are blocked have extensions such as .exe, .cmd, .bat, .vbs or .zip. These are just some examples and are not the only attachments blocked by the email system.
How do I send a secure email with Office 365 Message Encryption?
By simply putting the word SECURE in the subject line of your UMass Chan email, your message will be encrypted. Encryption can be activated by selecting the Encrypt function from the Outlook Mail client or Office 365 Outlook on the web.
Further correspondence can occur via the typical reply mechanisms, all through the encrypted message thread. The key component of this workflow is that the initial message must originate from a UMass Chan Medical School e-mail address and be encrypted (via the word SECURE in the subject line).
Unrestricted Access does NOT encrypt a given e-mail, and therefore should NOT be selected when sending Encrypted e-mail. Encrypt-Only has a less restrictive permission set than Do Not Forward, as Do Not Forward will prevent downloading of the message as well as forwarding to additional recipients.
The recipient will be given seven days to read the message. If the user does not have a Microsoft account, they will be asked to register or request a one time passcode in order to gain access to the message:
Starting May 10, 2023, every email communication to BYU students from a BYU entity must be sent to the student's BYU-provided email. This change is to help BYU align with security best practices and federal regulations (FERPA).
On most University-managed computers, you'll use Outlook to check and manage your email, but you can access your email from some other email applications or online at outlook.odu.edu. Log in with your full faculty/staff email address (x...@odu.edu) and your MIDAS password. (See our Email User Guides for information about setting up your email on various platforms.)
All incoming and outgoing mail is filtered through Microsoft Exchange Online Protection, which catches and stops a majority of spam and malware. In most cases, spam will end up in your junk email folder instead of your Inbox. You can manage your spam and junk mail settings from directly within Microsoft Outlook or online at outlook.odu.edu. Settings that you change in either place will apply to all incoming email, regardless of which application you use to read and respond to your email messages.
Spam Settings in Outlook for Mac
Incoming mail that Microsoft believes to be spam will be routed to your Junk Email folder. Outlook for Mac allows you to add an email address to your Blocked Senders list, or mark an individual message as junk, but in order to actually manage your junk mail settings, you need to log in to Outlook online (see below).
Spam Settings in Outlook Online
You can change your junk email settings online by adding addresses and domains to your lists of blocked senders or safe senders. Go to outlook.odu.edu and follow the instructions provided in this article from Microsoft:
Quarantined Mail
Outlook attempts to filter out junk, keeping the Inbox clear of content you don't want to see. Usually, junk mail (advertisements, contests, spam, social marketing, etc.) is delivered to the Junk Email folder. Quarantined emails usually contain potentially dangerous or unwanted messages, such as phishing emails or malware. You can request the release of quarantined messages, but use caution. These messages are usually quarantined for a very good reason.
Microsoft Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is an added layer of security that protects ODU's computers and networks from outside threats. There are two components to Microsoft ATP that will protect against phishing attempts and malicious email attachments: Safe Links and Safe Attachments.
Safe Links evaluates all links in an email message to determine if they point to safe or harmful content. To do this, ATP replaces all links in incoming messages with longer URLs that begin with "...//na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com," similar to this.
When you click on the link, ATP evaluates the web address. If it's safe, you'll be taken directly to the intended site. If the link is NOT safe, you'll be blocked from the site with a warning message like this.
Safe Attachments protects against harmful email attachments. Before a message is delivered, ATP opens all attachments in a virtual environment and analyzes them for malicious content. If the attachment is safe, it will be delivered to you along with the original email message. If the attachment is harmful, you'll never receive the message; you will receive an email letting you know that an email with malicious content was blocked. This process does cause a brief delay (a couple of minutes) in the delivery of messages.
An email with a malicious attachment is replaced by an email notice informing the intended recipient that the message was blocked. Also, ATP analyzes all attachments, so emails with attachments incur a brief delay in delivery.
All web links within the email message are replaced with "safelinks" that begin with "...//na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/...". If you try to click on a link that points to a malicious site, you'll see a warning notice displayed instead.
Two of the top ways our credentials or workstations are compromised are through phishing email with malicious attachments and phishing emails with malicious links. ATP helps to protect us from these forms of phishing attack.
