ARCHIVED: Other than Outlook, how can I check my Exchange mailbox?
If you have difficulties using Microsoft Outlook to check your Exchange mailbox, you can use the Outlook Web Access (OWA) page. To do this, connect to the Internet and launch your browser. To access your Exchange mailbox at Indiana University Bloomington, IUPUI, or the Columbus, East, Northwest, South Bend, or Southeast campuses, go to:
https://www.exchange.iu.edu/
Use your IU Network ID username and passphrase to log into the Exchange server. You will see that the OWA page is almost identical to the interface for the Outlook program.
Note: Outlook Web Access (OWA) is a secure site with two distinct interfaces, depending on which browser you use. For details, see ARCHIVED: In Outlook Web App (OWA), what are the "Premium" and "Light" interfaces?
If you only want access to your Exchange email, and are willing to go without other Exchange features such as calendaring, you can access your Exchange mail via IMAP. For setup instructions, see:
- ARCHIVED: At IU, in Outlook Express for Windows, how do I read my Exchange mail using IMAP?
- ARCHIVED: At IU, in Eudora for Windows, how can I read my Exchange mail using IMAP?
- ARCHIVED: Read Exchange mail using IMAP in Mozilla Thunderbird for Windows
Note: In Outlook 2003 or earlier, or with a connection to Indiana University via an outside Internet service provider (ISP) with handheld synchronization software, you must establish a VPN connection before connecting to your Exchange mailbox. See About the IU VPN and ARCHIVED: At IU, using an outside ISP, why can't I connect to my Exchange account with Outlook or BlackBerry Desktop Manager?
