 | What is an email header? | |
|
The email header is the information that travels with every email, containing details about the sender, route and receiver. It is like a flight ticket: it can tell you who booked it (who sent the email), the departure information (when the email was sent), the route (from where it was sent and how did it arrive to you) and arrival details (who is the receiver and when it was received). As when you would book a flight ticket with a false identity, the same goes for emails: the sender can partially fake these details, pretending that the email was sent from a different account (common practice for spammers or viruses).

| How to view an email header in Outlook 2010 | |
| Open the specific email message of interest in a new window by double-clicking its line in the email summary pane.Go to the “File” tab in the new window and click on the “Properties” button.Note
that if you go to the “File” tab in your main Outlook window (as
opposed to the window that you popped up with a single email message),
it will not have a “Properties” button, because these are specific to a
single message rather than the whole application.When you click the “Properties” button, a new Properties window should pop up:The headers are in the bottom portion of the window. Copy and paste to
an editor in order to view them in a more convenient manner. |

| My email client is trying to download old duplicate emails | |
|
If you are experiencing this problem, you probably have your email account configured to use POP. The way POP works by pulling emails from the server and downloading them onto your workstation. An alternative method of configuring your email account is IMAP. IMAP views emails on the server rather than downloading a copy to your workstation. Configuring a new account using IMAP should prevent duplicate messages from being downloaded to your email client. Once you have configured the new account, you can copy over any folders from the POP account to the new IMAP account to preserve your email organization and then delete the POP account. If you would rather keep your current POP account, or your mail server does not have IMAP capability, you may change your email client settings to delete emails from the server after downloading them. If you choose this method, it is recommended that you periodically create a backup copy of your emails. This article gives instruc |

| What are Resource Mailboxes in Hosted Exchange? | |
| Resource mailboxes are mailboxes that represent conference rooms or shared equipment. Resource mailboxes can be included as resources in meeting requests, providing a simple and efficient way to utilize resources for an organization.Note: Resource mailboxes cannot be accessed directly. The only way to open a resource mailbox is to open it from the delegate's mailbox.There are two types of resource mailboxes in Microsoft Exchange Server: room and equipment. Room mailboxes are assigned to a meeting location, such as a conference room, auditorium, or training room. Equipment mailboxes are assigned to a resource that is not location specific, such as a portable computer projector, microphone, or company car. In reference to resource mailboxes, a delegate is a user that has been delegated as the management of the resource mailbox. The delegate can approve or reject out-of-policy meeting requests for a resource.The delegate can |

| What is DMARC and why do I need it? | |
| DMARC is a protocol that stands for "Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance." It uses SPF and DKIM to determine the legitimacy of an email message and requires both to fail in order to take action on a message.DMARC is a way to make it easier for email senders and recipients to determine if a message is truly from the sender and what to do if it isn't. This makes it easier to identify spam and phishing messages, and keep them out of users' inboxes.DMARC gives the legitimate owner of the domain a way to request failing messages - spoofed, spam, and phishing - be put directly in the spam folder or rejected altogether.DMARC policies remove the guesswork from email recipient's handling of these failed messages, which eliminates or limits the user's exposure to potentially fraudulent and malicious messages.DMARC only protects against direct domain spoofing and will not protect against attacks using similar |
