If you are a part-time staff or adjunct faculty member
and you share a computer with others, you will be an OWA Only user,
meaning that you will use Outlook Web Access as your primary form of
email communication.
Once you are migrated to the new Exchange email server,
your version of WebMail will be replaced by OWA. You can access OWA the same way you always have: either
from http://webmail.villanova.edu or from the Villanova Homepage's Check
Mail button.
OWA offers many new and enhanced features, including
access to your Email, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks - all from the same
interface! OWA is the recommended email program for home users. If
you use the Outlook 2007 client in the office and OWA from home, you
will notice that not only can you view your email from home, but your
Calendar, Contacts and Tasks are all accessible to you from your home
computer using OWA!
If you are currently using an email client at home -
such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Outlook Express, Outlook, etc. - once you
are migrated to Exchange, you are encouraged to stop using these
third-party programs. All you really need from home is OWA, which can be
accessible from any web browser.
Note:
Internet Explorer is the recommended browser for accessing OWA. If you
are using Mozilla Firefox, or if you have a Mac, you will still be able
to use OWA, but your browser will automatically be directed to the OWA
Light version, which does not have all the functionality of OWA. |
