Exchange 2010 – Mail Tips
Mail Tips represents a new functionality in Exchange 2010, that improves user experience and avoid many useless messages. This features are available for users using OWA (Outlook Web Applications; or ex-Outlook Web Access) or outlook 2010.
I will show you how Mail Tips work by using a very simple scenario. Sending an email to an user that has set Out of office auto reply. before I will have a chance to send the email, I am warned that the destination user has an Automatic reply set – so it’s very likely that my message will not be read (or not very soon).
Other examples where Mail Tips are useful are: sending an email to a user with a full mailbox; emails with attachments that do not comply with the organization rules, or emails sent to a restricted recipient (delivery restrictions are set).
Mail Tips warns the user when the email is sent to a distribution group with more than 25 members (this is the default settings and can be changed), or when one tries to Reply-All BCC – reply all to a message where you were initially in the bcc field.
These MailTips can be customized at the organization level or even at the recipient level, but more about that in another post.
