Email issues
Emails from ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV (anyaddress@sfu.ca) sent to or forwarded to any email accounts hosted by Microsoft are sometimes identified as spam and delivered to junk mail folders, or not delivered at all.
Affected email addresses include @hotmail.com, @outlook.com, @live.com and @live.ca. ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV emails sent to other addresses, such as Gmail, Shaw, Telus, etc., are normally not affected, although we cannot guarantee that you will receive ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV email from any external email service.
Please check your junk mail folder for any messages from ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV that you are expecting. If an ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV message is found in your junk folder, please indicate that the email is "Not Junk," to increase the chance that future ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV emails will be delivered to your inbox. See full instructions for "safe sender" marking below.
