Outlook Web Access (OWA)

Q: What is it?

A: Outlook Web Access (OWA) is a web page that allows you to access your Exchange mailbox. Because you can use a web browser to read and send mail, Outlook Web Access is useful whenever you are not using a workstation specifically setup to access your mailbox using Microsoft Outlook or other software. OWA is a convenient way to access your e-mail when you are traveling or working from home. If your computer does not allow you to install or configure software, or if you have an OS that does not have support for Exchange, then best option may be to use OWA (Outlook Web Access). For security reasons, Outlook Web Access has a 24 hour timeout incorporated when using a non-shared (Private) computer and 20 minute timeout when using a shared (Public) computer. If you are the only person who uses the computer, select "This is a Private Computer". If you lose a document because you were composing at the timeout, it may be in the "Drafts" folder. As usual, when composing or editing a document, you should save your work frequently to avoid possible loss of data.
