Check mails with Outlook Web Access
OWA (Outlook Web Access) is an online application with which you can receive your business emails, for example. The disadvantage of OWA is that you have to start your browser every time and log in to read your emails. It is more convenient to synchronize your Outlook Web Access with Outlook on your computer.
Add new account in Outlook
To add a new email account in Outlook, go to "File" -> "Information" -> "Add Account".
E-mail account - Fill in the login mask
Enter your data in the following window:
- Your name: This is the name that the recipient sees as the sender.
- E-mail address: Enter your complete e-mail address (of your OWA) here.
- Password: You must enter your password here so that Outlook can check your emails independently.
Complete Outlook Web Access settings
Normally you should now receive a confirmation that all server settings have been loaded successfully (see picture). In this case, confirm with "Finish" and your Outlook Web Access account will be displayed and managed like your usual email accounts.
If you have problems with the new email account
If you have problems with the setup, select "Configure server settings manually" in the previous window. Here you can insert the exact server address and your name. With older versions of Outlook you may also need the IMAP or POP settings. You can get this as follows:
- Log in to your browser with your OWA address.
- Click on "Options" (in the top right corner of the screen) and select "Show all options".
- On the following page you can call up the IMAP and POP settings of your access and enter them in Outlook.
It was tested with Microsoft Outlook 2010 and Office 365.
