Finding Addresses – Using the Global Address List
What is the Global Address List (GAL)?
The GAL is a list of all email addresses in the email system that is ‘Globally’ accessible by all email users.
• The GAL is found in the “Show Names from the:” field (See figure below)
• It does not contain all addresses that you may setup on your own mailboxes for personal use or otherwise.
(See following page).
• The IT department can setup distribution groups
(groups of email addresses) by department or
project, whatever your business requires to be
more productive and communicate better.
• Restrictions can even be placed on distribution
groups so only certain users are allowed to send
to it. An example would be a policy by which only
executives could send to the distribution group
containing ‘all employees’.
• If you want to see the members of a distribution group, simply right‐click on one of the group lists and select
‘Properties’ and the properties window will appear,

Recalling Messages
This feature helps to stop an Outlook 2003 message from being delivered and read. There may be times where you
send an e‐mail message and quickly realize you didn't mean to send the message, or you noticed an error in the e‐
mail that needs to be fixed. Outlook 2003 has an option to recall messages, yet there are several caveats:
1. The recipient must also be using Outlook 2003.
2. Recall will not work if recipients have already read the message.
3. An e‐mail server may accept message recall yet it may still store an old copy of the message for archiving.
To recall a message:
1. From Outlook 2003, open the Sent Items folder.
2. Double‐click the e‐mail you wish to recall, opening it in a new window.
3. Select Actions and Recall this message.
4. Choose to either Delete unread copies of this message or Delete unread copies and replace with a new
message.
5. Check or uncheck Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient as desired.
6. Click OK.
7. If you chose to replace the e‐mail, enter in your new message and send it.

Managing Outlook
Managing Your Mailbox
Managing your mailbox is very important to make the best use of your email and to help maximize campus
resources.
• Your mail should be reviewed on a daily basis
• Mail that is not needed should be deleted
• Mail that you wish to save should be moved to local folders organized according to topic.
Quota Limits
The University has set quota limits at 500mb for staff. While this quota limit is higher than previously, in Outlook
Exchange, your quota includes not only email, but contacts, calendaring and voice messages as well. It is a good
idea to keep your mail’s inbox reduced to the absolute minimum necessary to perform your job. Keeping your
inbox minimized helps performance for all mail users.
BestPractices for Managing Your Mailbox
1. Organize your email by creating organized folders by customer, project or some system that is meaningful for
you.
2. Move items from your inbox and sent items to your organized folders DAILY. Email becomes too
cumbersome if it is not managed a little each day.
** Note ** Once mail is moved to local folders, it is no longer
available to view via OWA – the Outlook Web Access
view.
3. Clean out your deleted items. The deleted items folder is not meant to
be a storage cabinet.
Here’s an example of one way to organize your email.
• Create a folder for internal business, customers, vendors, etc. See
example at right.
• Insert a special character like ‘%’ as part of the name for folders you
want displayed at the top regardless of the spelling. See example at
right.

Microsoft Outlook 2003 Training Guide
Updated 9.5.07
Determining Your Mailbox Size
To check to see how much of your quota is being used at any given time you can follow the instructions below.
1. Right‐click on ‘Mailbox – your name’, select ‘Properties’, then on the General Tab, click the ‘Folder Size’
button .
2. The total size (including subfolders) is displayed in KB (Kilobytes). Divide the KB total by 100 to determine the
size in MB (Megabytes). The example below is 521MB, or roughly ½ a GB (Gigabyte).
** NOTE ** The total size of your mailbox is made up of all items, not just mail messages. This includes Contacts,
calendar items, phone voice mail messages, as well as email messages. All folders in the Mailbox use space.

Creating Personal Folders in Microsoft Outlook 2003
Personal folders provide many benefits. Some of these include:
• Allowing you to create back‐up copies of your e‐mail on your hard drive.
• Enabling you to move e‐mails to your hard drive to avoid exceeding your disk quota on the CSUN Exchange
server.

• Create a Personal Folder to transfer individual e‐mail messages onto your local hard drive.
• Create a Personal Folder to make a copy of your entire email account including messages, contacts, and
calendar events.
Saving individual items into a Personal Folder
Note: Before creating Personal Folders, remember you can only access Personal Folders when using your personal

Junk EMail Filter
The E‐mail Filter is designed to work with other Outlook 2003 features to help prevent many of the unwanted
e‐mail messages that you receive every day. It uses continually updated spam lists to evaluate whether a message
should be treated as junk e‐mail based on several factors, such as the time it was sent and the content of the
message.
• The filter does not single out any particular sender or type of message; it is based on the content of the message in general
and uses analysis of the structure of the message to determine the probability that it is junk e‐mail.
• By default, this filter is set to a low setting that is designed to catch the most obvious junk e‐mail. Any message that is
caught by the filter is moved to a special Junk E‐mail folder, where you can retrieve or review it at a later time.
**NOTE** Junk mail filtering under Options should normally be set to Low, although it is possible that more spam
and junk e‐mail may be caught with a High setting level . However, this requires the user to actively monitor their
Junk E‐mail folder, to catch wanted mail incorrectly label spam or junk.
• Add message senders to the Safe Senders List so that their messages will
never be treated as junk e‐mail.
• Contacts are automatically trusted by default, so messages from people
in your Contacts folder will also never be treated as junk e‐mail.
• You can configure Outlook to only accept messages from the Safe
Senders List, giving you total control over which messages reach your
Inbox.
• You can easily block messages from a certain e‐mail address or domain
name by adding the sender to the Blocked Senders List.
• If you belong to a mailing list, you can add the address for the list to your
Safe Recipients List so that messages sent to the mailing list will not be
treated as junk e‐mail.
• In addition, if you are using a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account,
messages from within your organization will never be treated as junk e-
mail, regardless of the content of the message.
To access the Junk Email Filter:
1. From the Tools menu, select Options
2. Select the Preference Tab
3. Select the Junk Email Button
4. The Junk E‐mail Options dialog box opens.
5. Select the Level of junk e‐mail protection you want.

person. The person granting delegate permission determines the folders the delegate can access and the changes the
delegate can make.) for that folder, then you have permission to perform certain activities in that folder. The extent
of the activities you can perform in a public folder, shared private folder, or folder you are a delegate for, depends on
your role (or combination of permissions) in that folder, as described next.
With this
permission level You can
(or role)

Moving Mail Folders from an Email Account Connected via IMAP to Your
Outlook Exchange Email Account
Introduction
The following instructions will assist in connecting to a Mirapoint e‐mail account via IMAP to copy mail
folders to your MS Exchange E‐mail account in Outlook 2003 to begin using your Exchange e‐mail
account as your default e‐mail account.
Procedure
Note: It is necessary that Microsoft Outlook first be configured for your new Exchange E‐mail account. If
you have questions about this preliminary configuration, please contact your local technical support
person. See instructions above for setting up an IMAP account in Outlook 2003.
Moving Mail Folders to Your Exchange Email Account in Outlook 2003
In the Navigation Pane, in the All Mail Folders section, both Exchange e‐mail and your IMAP
account will be shown. Your Exchange e‐mail is listed first and is displayed in the format Mailbox
‐ your full name.
Click and hold on each folder that you would like to move from your IMAP account, drag the
folder to the Mailbox ‐ your full name folder or to any folder underneath this folder, and release
the mouse.
A. Note: Depending on the size of your IMAP inbox, or the size of any IMAP folders you
are planning to move, you will be tying up our email for some time as these messages
are transferred from IMAP to your Exchange account. You might want to save this
process for lunch time, or the end of the day, when you can start the transfer process
and be away from your computer.
Creating a copy of your entire Exchange account
It may be good practice to occasionally create a copy of your entire account (all items in your folder list)
as a backup. These files can be stored on your personal computer or a cd.
1. From Outlook's File menu, select Import and Export.
2. From the Import and Export Wizard window, select Export to a file then click Next
3. From the Export to a File window, select Personal Folder File (.pst) then click Next . See figure
on next page.

window, select Mailbox ‐ (your name).
This will make a backup of your entire
Exchange email account including
messages, contacts, and calendar items.
Make sure you have checked Include
Subfolders and then click Next …
5. Finally, from the Export Personal
Folders window, select the location that
you would like your backup to be saved
to and then click Finish.

Making a Backup of Your Personal Folder
After you have created your personal folder or folders and have added the information you want to it, it
is important that you make a backup of that new folder. To make a backup of the folder, do the
following:
1. From the start menu, select Search.
2. Click the All files and folders option.
3. Click the More Advanced Options button.
4. Make sure the following boxes are checked: Search System Folders, Search Hidden Files and
Folders, and Search Subfolders.
5. In the All or part of filename box, type: *.pst (that's an asterisk, a period, then pst).
6. Click the Search button and wait until it has finished its search.
7. In the search results window, go to the Edit tab located within the top menu of the screen, and
select the Select All option.
8. While all the files (it could be as few as 1) are selected, go to the Edit tab located within the top
menu of the screen, and select the Copy option.
9. Minimize the search results screen and open the backup directory in which you would like to
store the personal folder in. (This directory could be on a USB flash drive, external hard drive, or
a folder that you plan to backup to CD)
10. With your backup directory window open, go to the Edit tab located within the top menu of the
screen, and select the Paste option.
11. Once you see the personal folder files found in the search appear in your backup directory, the
backup is complete. You can then close the search results window.
