Outlook Web Access, OWA, is an entirely web-based email service. This means that to access your email through Outlook Web Access, you need to have:

A connection to the Internet
Internet Explorer, version 6. Note: Other web browsers will still work, but the interface will look somewhat different. See below for details.

Connecting to Outlook Web Access

Open Internet Explorer and connect to the web address http://mail.uwb.edu

Note: if you use either a web browser other than Internet Explorer or Internet Explorer 5 or less the Outlook Web Access interface will look more like the image shown below. Please note that this is normal behavior, and will still allow you to read and write email. However, some of the more advanced features such as calendaring may have limited functionality. If you require these features, please use Internet Explorer version 6 or higher.
