Since the upgrade to Mail16 in July of 2018, the inbox sort view may be different than what was previously the norm. When you access your email via the web, or OWA, the default sort setting is “CONVERSATIONS BY DATE” mode. This option groups emails by conversation (subject line), rather than date.
How do you turn Conversations OFF, so email messages display the most recently received, regardless of sender or subject line?`
Click on the down arrow to display the options menu. Near the bottom of the menu, select Off under Conversations.
Result – Your email messages will display by date, with the most recent at the top, regardless of the sender or subject. This setting will remain in effect after you log off and will not change unless you return to the menu and make a change.
NOTE: These directions apply only to accessing your GCC email via OWA, NOT through Outlook on a GCC computer.
Wikipedia defines Phishing as: the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication
There will be an occasional uptick in emails, some not even addressed to you, about “Confirming” something involving a username and password.
Genesee will never ask you to confirm things like passwords in an email like that. And we never will use a non-named email account like “admin” or “administrator” or “support” to ask you to do anything with your account. Even things with my name on it that come out of nowhere asking you for your username and password are to be suspect.
As always, when in doubt, do ask. Contact the Help Desk (helpdesk@genesee.edu) or Computer Services staff in Batavia. We’re glad to help you figure out whether something is legit or not.
If you get any of those “Confirming” emails, if you have your spam filter turned on and have the voting links at the bottom, do mark them as spam so CanIt learns that this is spam faster. If you don’t have your spam filter on, simply delete the message. As long as you only open the message and do not click on any of the links, you should be fine.
