    Conversation View Settings

    Conversation view shows all messages in a conversation, no matter what folder they’re stored in. For example, if you’ve replied to a message in your Inbox, you’ll see both the original message and your reply in Conversation view.

    You can reach the conversation view settings in the following two ways:

    • From your Inbox, click View > See more Conversation options.
    • Click Options > See All Options > Settings > Mail.
    Setting Description

    Newest message on top Use this setting to sort conversations so the newest message is on top.

    The Office365 Web App allows you to send and receive many common files types. Some files types may be blocked, or you may be forced to save them on your computer before you can open them.

    By default, Office365 Web App allows you to open attached Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text files and many media files directly. The files you can open from Office365 Web App will vary depending on your account settings.

    This table lists the default file name extensions and MIME types that you can open in Office365 Web App:

    File name extensions allowed by default MIME types allowed by default
    .rpmsg, xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .pptx, .pptm, .ppsx, .ppsm, .doc, .docx, .docm, .xls, .wmv, .wma, .wav, vsd, .txt, .tif, .rtf, .pub, .ppt, .png, .pdf, .one, .mp3, .jpeg, .gif, .doc, .bmp, .avi image/jpeg, image/png, image/gif, image/bmp

    CUNY’s policy does not allow you to automatically forward your BaruchMail, as described in CUNY’s Email forwarding policy.
    There are alternatives available to you, however, such as setting up a mobile device to retrieve your email. Find more information on how to setup most common mobile devices Baruchmail on Mobile Devices.

    In the Office365 Web App, click Options > See All Options. On the left hand side of the page, click on Settings. Under the Mail option., you will see E-Mail signature.

    An e-mail signature is text that’s automatically added to the end of an outgoing e-mail message. You can also use a signature to add standard text, for example, an explanation of how you want others to respond to your messages.

    Automatically include my signature on outgoing messages
    Selecting this option sets up the Office365 Web App to include a signature that you create in outgoing messages. If no signature exists, this box is blank. The signatures you create in Office365 Web App aren’t shared with the desktop version of Outlook. You’ll have to create separate signatures if you use the Office365 Web App and Outlook to access your e-mail, voice mail, and fax messages.

    Once you have entered your e-mail signature, click on the SAVE button in the bottom right hand corner.
