Due to the implementation of myNova on August 4, 2009, the Email Center and the Internal view of the Homepage will no longer be available. To access your Villanova email account, simply click on the email icon in myNova or if you are a full time faculty or staff member you can access email through Outlook on your PC. To access other email accounts (also known as generic email accounts), that you have permissions to, please read the information below:
What is myNova?
- myNova will be our internal environment for the VU community to access our web systems in a way that acknowledges each individuals unique relationship with the institution with better navigation.
How does this impact me?
- As of August 4, 2009, myNova will replace the internal view of the homepage. As a result, current links to the generic email accounts will no longer be available.
How do I access my generic email account?
- Starting on August 4, 2009, you should access your generic email account by going to https://webmail.villanova.edu/genericaccountemailaddress@villanova.edu. (Replace genericaccountemailaddress with the email address of the generic email account you either own or are a member of.)
- You will now be prompted to login
- Once login is successful you may now access the account in OWA
How can I get access to my Generic Email Account in myNova?
How do I add or remove owners & members?
- Only owners can add additional owners or members to a generic email account.
- To add or remove members or owners of the generic email account, please click on the instructions on the right hand side called "Generic Account Maintenance".
Can I access my generic email account another way?
- You can also access a generic email account (that you own or are a member of) within your own OWA account. Please click on the instructions on the right hand side called “User’s OWA Account”
Looking ahead….
- In the future, we will implement a new process for maintaining the generic email accounts. For example,
- We will require a designation of an account owner, who will administer the addition, deletion, or modification of names within the account, as well as manage the account as per these guidelines.
- These accounts will be created with an expiration date of 1 year, at which time the owner can request a renewal, which will be granted pending verification of ownership and the member list.
- Shorter expiration dates will be given where appropriate, such as to accommodate specific time-sensitive needs.
- Communication on this implementation will be Spring 2010
