In this post we will show you how to manage your safe senders and domains in the Outlook Web App
Office 365 has a very good email security and spam filtering system but sometimes it can be frustrating when you keep on getting the same old messages, from the old same senders, always going into your Junk Email folder. Simply moving these emails back to your inbox does not have any effect and the next email you get from them goes back into the Junk Email folder.
If you are experiencing this issue and you have legitimate emails that are ending up in your Junk Email, you can easily add the email address to the safe senders and domains list which effectively whitelists them and stops the problem.
If you’re familiar with Hotmail or Outlook.com mail, it is a very similar process.
Here is what you need to do in the Outlook Web App in Office 365
- Log into your Office 365 email account by going to https://portal.office.com
-
If Outlook doesn’t open by default, click on the Outlook app icon.

- At the top right of the screen, click on the settings wheel, and select View all Outlook settings.
- Next click on the Junk Email section and then click on the Add button by the Safe senders and domains section.
- Enter the email address or domain that you want to approve and click the save button – it is as easy as that!

Switch User… Other User… How do I sign into another Domain?.. Carefully type in the computer name, backslash, username then password, OK great I’m in!
Here’s a little hack

Use that instead of the full computer name and it automatically picks it up as the local computer.
Absolutely genius way to save some time and annoyance finding and typing the computer name!

Additionally, we can use it to work from home on any ordinary day. Undoubtedly a useful feature is to separate your personal and work numbers, none of us want our clients to reach us on personal numbers at any time of the day… Therefore we phone them from our work numbers and keep our professionalism.
Personally I was amazed at how crystal clear the audio was over the Office UC app than for example Microsoft Teams chat. Amazingly, it’s much easier hearing and speaking to colleagues, customers and clients alike.

In this case scenario, the aim is a simple solution to manage Android devices.
Here at TC-IT Services, our aim is to always find the most appropriate and relevant solutions for our customers and clients. Some example requirements is a locked-down tablet with a few apps that are accessible, no browser or access to settings.
The decision was made to go with esper.

It is a straightforward solution that meets our needs.
With their custom launcher, we can really lock down what can be accessed. Subsequently, their launcher will only display our chosen apps. In the setup, we chose the Esper DPC Launcher.
We can also lock down the settings menu and set a pin to it.
Thus we’re left with a locked-down Android device, with a few apps to open and launch.
Additionally, we have enabled a feature that we thought would be very useful for our client, it’s called Geofence.
This feature allows us to create an area where the devices will function. If the devices go outside of this area they are automatically locked.
In conclusion, the picture below shows the device has left the area and is locked, it can only be unlocked by an administrator or by returning to the catchment area.
TC-IT would love to help you find the right solution for your needs. Please
contact us today and see what we can do for you.
