Email

I swear I did not change a setting, but I’ve started experiencing the following behaviour with the Outlook client in Windows 11, that replaced the Mail app:

• Click on the ellipse (three dots … ) in an email, next to the forward, reply buttons
• Select Report then either Report Junk or Report Phishing
• Immediately receive a copy of the message headers as a new email to my Inbox, from myself, with the subject # Questionable URLs detected in message: None and a copy of the message as an attachment.

It’s likely this was a system change with a Microsoft Defender update and not related to the Outlook client at all, but here’s how to turn off those replies:

I see so many people running to a technology because other people said it was good. That�s how our trusted referral society works, but it�s rarely the tech that solves the problem � it�s how you use it.

Modern collaboration tools are the hot topic right now, whether you prefer Slack or Microsoft Teams.

So I wrote my thoughts on the 5 tips to ensure success with tools like those, and published them on our company website:

Just a quick post to show you some spam emails I�ve been receiving. My fantastic spam filter (http://www.ctscleanmail.com/) has been quarantining this stuff, but the subject AND the fact they are coming from the same domain name earthlink.net made me curious enough to do a little more research.

A quick internet search shows that while earthlink.net is a valid email provider, it has been known to have issues with spam from user�s accounts in the past, especially spam that has been coded to include your name in the subject. See this July 2011 blog post�http://blog.onlymyemail.com/endless-spam-from-earthlink/

This isn�t intended as a comprehensive argument on how to evaluate if Cloud Computing is right for you or not. �I�ve written it to show where we use Cloud Computing in our own business, and where we don�t. �As most of my readers aren�t IT Providers, you may find something relevant in this, or you may not. �But I�m a firm believer in recommending the best solution to a client for their individual needs, so our own decision on Cloud Computing has been based on our current business needs.

In the tradition of �physician, heal thyself�, I�ll come clean and confess to a slight user error with my iPhone. I will also let you in on the secret of how I recovered from it, which you may also be able to do WITHOUT calling your IT department.

So, this iPhone thing is all new to me. I�m usually an early adopter, but my HTC phone was still under contract when the first iPhone came out and then I procrastinated�about the iPhone vs Windows Phone debate�so I managed to launch straight into a 4S.� Setting it up was rather straighforward � until I tried to add another email account.� Said second email account is on a server that isn�t mine, and all I had�was a wedmail address & the login details.� I can figure this out, surely.
