Office 365 Clutter Folder Moving to Focused Inbox
Monday, December 2, 2019
After January 31, 2020, your Clutter folder for your Office 365 Wright State email account will no longer be available.
Focused Inbox will replace Clutter and is now available to all Office 365 customers. Focused Inbox helps you focus on the emails that matter most to you. It separates your inbox into two tabs - 'Focused' and 'Other'. Emails you need to act on right away are in the Focused tab, while the rest will be filtered to Other. You can switch between tabs at any time to access your emails.
Enabling Focused Inbox in Office 365
- Log in to Office 365 at outlook.wright.edu
- Click on the gear icon in the top righthand corner
- Click on the toggle button for 'Focused Inbox'
This will enable Focused Inbox. You can switch between your Focused Inbox and Other folder by selecting the tabs for either folder:
For more information about the change to Focused Inbox, visit https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Outlook-Blog/Focused-Inbox-no-more-Clutter/ba-p/389791. If you have any questions, including how to turn Focused Inbox on, contact the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827 or email helpdesk@wright.edu.

Phishing and Fake Job Offer Scams
Friday, November 15, 2019
CaTS has noticed an increase in the number of phishing attempts at the beginning of Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Below is information to help keep your Wright State accounts secure:
What are Phishing Scams?
- Phishing scams are emails designed to trick you into sending an unknown third party your account information or other personal or financial information.
- These emails may look like they're coming from Wright State, CaTS, your bank or credit card issuer, or any other institution you do business with.
- The links in phishing emails often take you to a web page that appears to be a WSU site, such as wings.wright.edu. You can avoid being tricked by these fake pages by typing in the URL, such as wings.wright.edu rather than trusting the link.
- Many email scams often contain fake job offers; if an email contains poor grammar or wording, or seems too good to be true, it most likely is.
How Can You Avoid Phishing Scams?
- Remember that CaTS, WSU and other reputable businesses WILL NEVER ask you for any personal information, such as your username and password, via email.
- Never respond to a suspicious email or click links in those emails.
- Don't give out your personal information to anyone via email.
- Don't download attachments from an email unless you trust the sender.
Questions?
If you receive an email and are unsure if the message is a scam, contact the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827. We can help determine whether the email you received is real or not.
