OWA is recommended for those who:

  • Prefer to use a web browser over a desktop user.
  • Manage only their own email and calendar.
  • Frequently access their account from public computers.
  • Do not require complex mail/calendar functionality.
  • Do not want to install and configure software.
  • Have a need for off-campus or mobile access.

Keep in mind that OWA:

  • Does not manage multiple email accounts as well as Outlook.
  • Does not provide as much overall functionality.
  • Requires an internet connection and supported web browser.
