3. Tips of Microsoft Office 365 Email Service

1. A New Feature 'Clutter' Introduced in Microsoft Office 365 Email Service

This feature automatically analyzes your mailbox, checks the most read/unread emails and moves the unwanted unread emails that are in the user's mailbox to a new folder called 'Clutter' once you enable this feature in your mailbox.

This feature can be enabled/disabled by users through Office 365 Outlook Web Access (OWA).

Steps to enable/disable it:

  1. Open OWA (http://email.cpce-polyu.edu.hk).
  2. Click the Settings () icon in the navigation bar.
  3. Click 'Options'
  4. Select the 'Clutter' and there you will have 2 options to enable or disable the clutter feature as shown below.



    When this feature is enabled, user will has an option to right click on any emails in Inbox and have an option as 'Mark as clutter' as shown below.



    Clutter might get it wrong. If user right click on any email that is in 'Clutter' folder, user have an option to 'Mark as not clutter'. This option can be used by user if you identify any important emails moved to the 'Clutter' folder.



2. As a student, how to change the Office 365 Email Service login password?

The login password of Office 365 student email account is directly synchronized from CPCE student user account's password (i.e. the password use for login CPCE Portal, Moodle E-learning, PC in student computer center, my.HKCC, my.SPEED, etc.). Therefore, student should change Office 365 login password via the 'Change Password' shortcut link after login the CPCE Portal (http://portal.cpce-polyu.edu.hk).
