How to set Outlook Web App to use Reply rather than Reply-All

Have you ever replied to someone’s message, hit send, then suddenly realize, YOU HIT REPLY-ALL and SENT THAT MESSAGE TO EVERYONE?  I have – it is unnerving…

There’s a way for you to reduce the risk: Change your email reply settings from the default: Reply-All, to your new friend: Reply.

Here’s how:

• Log into your email (my.commnet.edu – then click on the mail link – or office.com and login)
• Once you’re in Outlook Web App – you may notice one of these doesn’t match – that’s because there are two styles – Classic and New.
• If you kept Outlook in its Classic form:
  • Go to Settings >Mail (under the heading “Your app settings”)
  • In the Options pane: under Mail>Automatic processing>Reply settings
  • Choose the option for Reply and hit Save

• If you chose to “Try the new Outlook”:
  • Go to Settings >View all Outlook settings
  • Select Mail>Compose and reply
  • Choose the option for Reply and hit Save

If you make this change, you can still hit the dropdown and select “Reply all” if you so choose.
