Outlook Web App

Outlook Web App (OWA) is the web-based client for your WWU email. You can access your mail from anywhere that has a web browser.

1. Click on the Employee Email icon in MyWestern, or go directly to http://www.wwu.edu/outlook.
2. Enter your Universal username and password. Make sure you select "This is a private computer" to stay logged in longer.
   
3. OWA will look similar to the Outlook client.
   
4. By default, messages will be listed in conversations. To turn off conversations, select "Conversations by Date" and unselect "Conversation." You can also change the sort order.
   
5. If you want to turn on the From: or BCC: fields on new emails, open a new email, click Options, and select the checkbox(es).
