Microsoft Outlook
Microsoft Outlook is the supported email program for faculty, staff, and students. You can access Outlook through the web-based version in CentreNet or through the Outlook app on your computer. You can also set-up your Centre email on your mobile device.
Lockbox
Centre provides a secure email and file dropping service called Lockbox. This will allow you to send confidential or sensitive information via encrypted email or send and receive secure files to individuals outside of the college.
To access Lockbox:
From the LaunchPad < click the Lockbox icon
View the Lockbox page for instructions on how to send secure emails and files.
Defender 365/Spamfilter
Defender 365 is Centre's spam filter that allows you to approve specific senders and release email messages that were blocked by the network. These settings do not overwrite the overall security and malware checks conducted by Defender 365 but supplement the mail delivery process.

Reporting Suspicious email
The best way to report potentially suspicious emails is to use the “Report Phish” button in Outlook.
Phishing emails have become all too common, and one goal of these emails is to obtain your private/sensitive information. It is very important to look at the email carefully and not click any of the links or attached files; especially if you do not know the sender and are not expecting an email from that individual.
Centre Mailing lists
Mailing list services are available to Centre College faculty, staff, and students. Mailing lists allow you to send an email to a single @lists.centre.edu address, and have the message automatically delivered to a group of people. Mailing lists enable easy two-way communication between you and other members of your list, both internal and external to Centre College. Mailing lists are effective for announcements, moderated discussions, and mailing to groups.
If you have a recognized student group that would like to have a mailing list created, you can make your request to the Student Life Office. They will work with you to have the list created and set the owners and moderators of the list. If you’re a faculty or staff member that needs a mailing list created, you can make your request directly to ITS by emailing helpdesk@centre.edu or calling our help number.
