Exchange accounts are provided for all faculty and staff at UWB. If you aren't sure whether you have an account, contact the helpdesk by sending email to help@uwb.edu or by calling 425-352-5275.
UWB has standardized on Microsoft Exchange for campus email, calendaring/scheduling, and task management, allowing UWB Information Systems to provide support and training for these functions. Your account has the address username@uwb.edu or username@bothell.washington.edu. Access to this account is through Outlook on your desktop computer, or Outlook Web Access on the web. The Calendar feature is one of the reasons UWB decided to standardize on Outlook. Outlook allows you to share your calendar with other people, making it possible to greatly simplify the process of setting up meetings. You determine who has access to your calendar, and how much access they have. It also integrates seamlessly with your mail and tasks list. For example, meetings that you arrange over email are automatically scheduled into your calendar.
You also have a computer account at UWB, which allows you to log on to your computer. The same username and password that make up this account are used for your Bothell email account. When you change your password, it automatically changes your Bothell email password as well. In effect, the same username and password which give you access to your computer also give you access to your Bothell email.
Using Outlook Web Access you can access your Outlook email from any web browser, anywhere. There is no need to install software or configure anything. The URL for faculty and staff to access their Outlook mail over the web at http://mail.uwb.edu. See the Outlook Web Access documentation for more information.Listed below are training documents and pages that describe many of the features and functions of Outlook email.
