Office 365 – What is Clutter?

Now that you have been using Office 365 (this may take up to 30 days), a new folder called Clutter will appear in your mailbox and some of your messages automatically moved there. Clutter is a great filtering tool that will help you keep your Inbox clutter free! This is just one of the many new tools and features available with Office 365.

Clutter analyzes your messages for certain criteria and based upon your previous email habits, determines if a message should be considered low-priority and then moves them to the Clutter folder.  With that being said, you can help Clutter learn your preferences more efficiently by moving messages to and from the Clutter folder.  If you do nothing with your messages, you should receive an email summary notifying you that you have messages in the Clutter folder.

All internal messages from an LLCC email account will not be subject to the automatic filtering and will not be moved to the Clutter folder. Your messages will only be analyzed by Clutter filtering after the antispam filter and any Rules that you may have applied to your account.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to the service desk for assistance.

  2. If you have been granted permissions to view a Shared Mailbox (Ex. department email account), below your Inbox and subfolders there will be another group of folders under that Shared Mailbox name. Click on the chevron to expand the list of folders if minimized and check the Inbox and other folders for messages.
  3. Next, check for Shared Calendar Click on the Calendar link at the bottom of Outlook and under the Shared Calendars (on the left) listing you should see a list of all calendars that you have been granted permission to. Place a check mark in the box to the left of the Shared Calendar to view.
  4. The final step is to verify the Permissions Level of your Calendar. While in the Calendar view, right click on Calendar (on the left), and hover your mouse over Share and left click on Calendar Permissions. The Default Permission Level should be set to Free/Busy time.

Office 365 Coming Soon for Faculty and Staff

ITS is in the process of migrating all LLCC Email accounts for Faculty, Adjuncts, and Staff to Office 365. This should be a seamless transfer of data. Should you experience any technical difficulties, please contact the ITS Service Desk at 786.2555, helpme@llcc.edu or submit a ticket via https://help.llcc.edu.

What does this mean for you?

After migrating your account to Office 365, you will have access to many new tools such as Clutter (Email filtering that helps to prioritize your Inbox), Office 365 online applications (One Drive, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Sites) and the ability to install Office 2016 on your personal devices for free. You will continue to use the Outlook desktop application while at work and use the Outlook Web Access when off-campus.

You can access all of the Office 365 applications from https://portal.office.com/myapps

You can also access any of the apps while logged into Office 365 by clicking on the Office 365 icon at the top left while logged into email.

How will I know when I have been moved to Office 365?

Please watch for an Email from the ITS department notifying you when the move will take place. Once the migration has been completed, you will access your OWA Email via http://www.llcc.edu, My LLCC and click on Email under the Student section. You will be redirected to Office 365.

I have been moved to Office 365 and now the link to the Email site does not work for me.

You will temporarily need to use the student email link found at http://www.llcc.edu/my-llcc/.  The employee link will be updated once the majority of the employee mailboxes have been moved.

Do I need to update my phone or tablet to access LLCC email?

Yes, your mobile device will need to be updated to continue accessing LLCC email. Click here to find an extensive list of instructions.

Where can I look for more information about Office 365?

Once your account has been migrated, you can access the LLCC Home Site for Office 365. Click here to access or after you are logged into OWA, click on the Office 365 icon at the top left while logged into email, click on Sites, and under Recommended Sites (to the right), click on Starting 365.
