How do I use course distribution lists in Outlook? (link)
Lists are created at the beginning of each term, and are available in the Outlook address book. Search for them as you would any name. Courses are listed alphabetically, by discipline.
 
So, for instance, if looking for a Philosophy course distribution list using the Outlook client, type "Phil" in the "To" line, then click the "Check Names" button (or press Ctrl-K). Scroll until you find the Philosophy courses.

Is there a way to view the department in address books? (link)

When searching the Global Address List (GAL), click on the Advanced Find link. This allows you to enter search criteria in one or more fields including Department and Title.  

Note that the search has to match starting with the first word. Searching on "Library" in the Department field does not work because the department name is "University Library".

This advanced find capability is not available for personal contact lists/address books. With these, though, in your Contacts view you can display the Department column and sort by that.

How do I restore my deleted contacts or distribution list in Outlook? (link)

Deleted contacts and distribution lists end up in the Deleted Items folder but the Deleted Items folder is normally sorted by the date the item was received. Because of this, deleted contacts and distribution lists are not easily found.

To easily find the deleted contacts and distributions lists start by opening the Deleted Items folder. Point the mouse at the column header that says "Arrange By". Click on this column header if "Show in Groups" does not have a check mark by it then select it. Next click "Arrange By" again and select "Type". Now the items are sorted by type, and you can hide all of a given type by clicking the triangle icon at the left of the type name. When you hide the other types, it will be easy to find any deleted contacts. Click on the triangle icon at left of the Contacts header if you don't see the individual deleted contacts. Then find the lost one and drag it back into your Contacts folder.

To return the Deleted Items folder to the default view click the "Arrange By" header and select "Date". Click again to disable "Show in Groups" if you would not liked them grouped.

    How do I Add/Manage Phonebook entries in RightFax? (link)

    Adding Phonebook Entries

    The RightFax Web Client lets you create a personal phonebook of fax and e-mail addresses. You can add both individual entries and group entries that let you easily send one document to multiple recipients. Phonebook entries can be private or published. Private phonebook entries can be viewed only by you. Published phonebook entries can be viewed by any other RightFax user on the network.

    To Create an Individual or Group Phonebook Entry

    1. From the Web Client folder view, click the New Fax button. The Create/Edit Document page opens.
    2. Under Primary Information, click the Phonebook Search button.
    3. Click the New Entry button to create an individual phonebook entry or the New Group button to create a group entry.
    4. Enter a name for the entry in the ID box, and check the Published option if you want this phonebook entry to be available to other users on your network.
    5. If you are creating an individual entry, complete the addressing boxes. All boxes are optional but you must enter at least one fax number or e-mail address. If you are creating a group entry, type the phonebook IDs you want in the Members box, and press ENTER between each ID you add. Group phonebook entries can only be made from existing phonebook IDs. If you want to add a new fax or e-mail address to a group phonebook entry, you must first make it an individual phonebook entry.
    6. When you have completed the addressing information or added all the phonebook IDs you want, click the Save button. The new entry will be immediately added to your personal phonebook.

    To Select an Address from Your Phonebook

    1. Under Primary Information, click the Phonebook Search button to display all the entries in your personal RightFax phonebook. You can select one phonebook entry per document. If you select a group phonebook entry, the document will be sent to all members of that group.
    2. Click the check mark next to the entry to which you want to send the document. This returns you to the Create/Edit Document page with the recipient's addressing information entered under Primary Information. If you selected a group phonebook entry, the phonebook ID will appear in the Name field.

    Why are some files unavailable in my personal web site? (link)

    If you right click on the files that do not work and look at the Security tab under Properties, the read permissions for the WWW user are missing.  This is the account that the web servers use to read the data.  Missing rights is usually caused by moving files between folders of differing security settings.  Within a volume, the file server does not recalculate rights on a move.  These files may have been dragged from elsewhere in the H: drive, and therefore did not receive the read permissions required.  The easiest way to prevent this is to use copy/paste instead of drag or move, since rights are always re-calculated when a file is created. 

     

    To fix the existing files: 

    1.       right click on the public_html folder

    2.       select properties

    3.       select security

    4.       select advanced

    5.       check the box “Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects”

    6.       select OK

    7.       select OK

     

    This will force all the rights in the public_html folder to be recalculated.

    I’m getting bounce backs on a previously good e-mail address, what should I do? (link)

    Sometimes you will get a bounce back from an e-mail address that you have used before. Please forward as an attachment the bounce back to mtrimmer@wlu.edu.  If it is determined that there is an invalid address that has gotten into your auto-complete address list you will need to remove the invalid address and manually enter correct address.

     

    To remove the bad address you will need to remove the Name@address.com entry in you auto-complete list (the list of address that come up when you start typing in the To field). To remove the entry start typing “N” in the To field of a new message, use the arrow keys to move up and down the list until Name@address.com is highlighted, and press the Delete key.

     

    After this you can manually type the address once and it will then again be in you auto-complete list, this time with the correct address.

    What do I do if Outlook no longer suggests (autocomplete) names when I type in an address field? (link)

    Background:

    AutoComplete is a feature which displays suggestions for names and email addresses as you begin to type them. These suggestions are possible matches from a list of names and email addresses that you have typed before, known as the AutoComplete name list. The AutoCompletes name list saved as a file on the local machine. 

     

    Possible solutions:

    1. Are you using your primary machine?  AutoComplete Lists are saved per machine (locally).  If you are not on your primary machine you will have a different list.
    2. Was your machine rebuilt recently?  If so your AutoComplete file may not have been copied over to the new build. In this case you will need to start building a new list.
    3. Is AutoComplete turned off? To turn AutoComplete on:
      • go to the File menu
      • click Options
      • select the Mail tab
      • scroll down to 'Send messages' section
      • check the "Use Auto-Complete to suggest names when typing in the To, Cc, and Bcc lines" check box
    4. Very rarely a AutoComplete list file gets corrupted and all suggestions disappear. If your new entries are being saved then continue to build your new list with use. If the list remains blank contact the W&L InfoDesk.
