Outlook Web Access
Outlook Web Access or commonly referred to as OWA or Webmail, allows anyone with a campus mailbox to access their mail and calendar from anywhere in the world as long as they are connected to the internet with a supported browser. Most browsers will work but only Microsoft Internet Explorer will provide the full set of features available. All other browsers utilize what is called “Web Access Light” and is a subset of OWA features
