Note: Important mail from your instructors and the University will be sent to your 91社区 email account. It is IMPERATIVE that you check your 91社区 email on a regular basis.
If you prefer to use an email account other than the one provided you by 91社区, you can forward your 91社区 email to a functioning account that you access regularly. If you forward to a non-functioning or non-existent email account, you could potentially lose important email messages. It is your responsibility to periodically test the forward to see that it works.

Pilotusi.onmicrosoft.com is the initial domain created with Microsoft for Microsoft 365. EVERY 91社区 account on Microsoft 365 has this domain associated with its account. It is used 鈥榖ehind the scenes鈥.
To personalize the 91社区 365 accounts, we were able to add our own domain to each account. We have added EAGLES.91社区.EDU to each account. This is the domain we reference when talking about eagles-mail and Microsoft 365 accounts at 91社区.
Example: If someone were to send an email to听jsmith1@pilotusi.onmicrosoft.com, it would deliver to the exact same mailbox as听jsmith1@eagles.usi.edu.
If your mail appears to be coming from @pilotusi.onmicrosoft.com, please let the Help Desk know (812-465-1080) and your account can be modified so that your mail appears to come from your @eagles.usi.edu account
The default mailbox size limit for 91社区 email (Employees, Students and Alumni) 50 GB. This means that when your mailbox contains 50听骋叠听of "stuff" you will be prevented from SENDING email.
FYI: 'mailbox' means all types of items: Mail, Calendar, Sent, Tasks, Deleted items.
The problem is not necessarily the NUMBER of items, but the size of the items your mailbox contains. Mail items with photos, avi, mov, pdf, ppt are typically very large in size.
What can you do if your mailbox is full? The easy answer is Delete items.
The largest SINGLE message you can send/receive with 91社区 Outlook is 35MB.
Outlook Web App (OWA) in Microsoft 365 offers an easy way to 鈥渁ttach鈥 a document as a link to where it鈥檚 saved on OneDrive for Business, a great option for sharing large files with your colleagues.
Sending an attachment can be tricky 鈥 as eagles mail will want to default to getting files from your One Drive.听 Also, the default is to send a HYPERLINK to a file on the One Drive vs. actually sending the file.
So, if you want to send the FILE 鈥 and not a link 鈥 follow these instructions.
- Start a new message
- Click ATTACH 鈥 above the TO field.
- If the file resides on your computer 鈥 click COMPUTER (on the left)
- Browse to the location of the file ON your computer.
- Next you are presented with the following 2 choices:
- Attach as COPY听(the original way we are used to sending attachments)
- Upload and attach as a OneDrive File
The Upload and attach method will put the file in your OneDrive, and give the email recipient access to this file.听 Using this method, sends the email recipient a LINK to your document 鈥 it does not put the file in the email.听 The recipient can NOT forward the document to someone else.
听
IF you choose Upload and attach, you are then given the choice to change permissions to Read Only听 or Edit permissions.
WHY has Microsoft gone to the OneDrive method?听
Many people work from mobile devices.听 If your files are in your OneDrive, you have them available to you on your phone, tablet, AND computer.听 Many devices have limited amounts of storage 鈥 but we have a very large amount of space in our OneDrive.

If a specific email keeps sending various messages filter by "move messages from someone" option
Name the Rules and be sure to Click Save at the Bottom.
1.) Create a new email
2.) Select the Sensitivity tab on the right
3.) Choose what type of encryption you prefer. (Critical is suggested)
In Outlook:
- Click into the Search box
- Click Instant Search
- Advanced Find
First tell Outlook WHERE you want to look 鈥 in the top right it shows the folder you currently have highlighted (I鈥檓 guessing Inbox). If you want to search beyond the Inbox 鈥 click the BROWSE button. You actually can scroll to the top and choose MAILBOX 鈥 your name. This will search your entire mailbox (including Calendar, Contacts, Deleted Items, Inbox鈥).
If you want to SEARCH SUBFOLDERS under the selected folder/mailbox 鈥 then check the box at the bottom. Click OK.
Next decide if you want to ONLY look in Mail items 鈥 or if you want to include Calendar-type items, Notes-type items鈥 You make this change in the top left corner of the Advanced Find window. I typically choose ANY TYPE OF OUTLOOK ITEM.
At this point you can enter your search word/phrase in the 鈥淪earch for words鈥 box. If you KNOW the word(s) are in the Subject field 鈥 then let this default 鈥 or change to search the body of messages.
If you know the FROM/TO items 鈥 you can fill in these boxes to refine your search 鈥 otherwise leave blank.
This is typically all the functions "I" use for the Advanced search. You can check out the other tabs for a more detailed search. When the search is done 鈥 it should show you the results in a new window. This window should show you WHAT FOLDER the items are located in. Pay attention to this, it is important.
If you are getting the System Administrator message that your mailbox is too full, you can use the following tool to find out what messages or folders are causing this problem. After you narrow down where the problem is, you can delete, archive or move to a听personal folder.
It is not the NUMBER of items that matter, but the total听SIZE听of all items.
Some people have been surprised to find that they were over the limit due to items in their calendar or tasks folder.

Prevent SEND and RECEIVE at听200000 KB
(mailbox size increased from 140/150/170 on 5/25/2011).
To find out which items in your mailbox are causing you grief, do the following
Click FILE,
Click CLEANUP TOOLS
Click Mailbox Cleanup
Click VEIW MAILBOX SIZE
At the top of the Folder size window, you should see "Total size (Including subfolders). This tells you the TOTAL amount of space you are currently using.
Scroll down through the list of folders using the SIZE column and see which folders are using the most space. Many times just knowing this, helps to figure out what needs to be deleted/archived. It might be your Sent items or Deleted items folder. The TOTAL SIZE column can be misleading - this figure will include the nested subfolders.
If this does not clear things up for you, click Close and then select the "Find items larger than" button and change the value to 1000 and click FIND. The results should show you all the items in your mailbox that are larger than 1MB. It will tell you what folder these items are in (not necessarily the Inbox).
From the mailbox cleanup window you can also force an archive, or empty your deleted items folder.

Quick Steps is a feature that applies multiple actions at the same time to email messages. This helps you quickly manage your mailbox. For example, if you frequently move messages to a specific folder, you can use a Quick Step to move the message in one click. Or, if you forward messages to your manager or peers, a one-click Quick Step can simplify the task.
You can customize any of the default Quick Steps. When you use some Quick Steps for the first time, you are prompted to configure them. For example, if you want a Quick Step to move messages to a certain folder, you must specify the folder before you can use the Quick Step.
