Welcome to Outlook Web Access With Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access, you can use a Web browser to access your Microsoft Exchange mailbox from any computer with an Internet connection. In fact, you can do many of the same things you can do with Microsoft Outlook, such as read and send messages, organize contacts, create tasks and rules, schedule appointments, and access public folders. Important To help protect your mailbox from unauthorized access, Outlook Web Access automatically closes its connection to your mailbox after a period of inactivity. This is particularly important if you use Outlook Web Access from a public-access computer or Internet kiosk. If your session expires and you still need to use Outlook Web Access, refresh your browser and log on again.

Supported browsers and operating systems You can use Outlook Web Access with Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator Web browsers from many UNIX, Apple Macintosh, or Microsoft Windows-based computers. To use the complete set of features available with Outlook Web Access, use Internet Explorer 6 or later. For specific information about which operating systems and browser versions are supported by Outlook Web Access, contact your server administrator or service provider.

Getting help To get help on the window you're working in, click Help on the toolbar. For information about other Outlook Web Access features or instructions on how to do something, browse the table of contents in the Help window. Note Some features described in Help won't be available if your mailbox server hasn't been upgraded to the latest version of Exchange Server or if your server administrator has turned off any features. For information about using Outlook Web Access over your intranet or the Internet, contact your server administrator.

Log off When you finish using Outlook Web Access, be sure to click Log Off in the toolbar, and then close all browser windows. Logging off helps prevent someone else from using the computer to access your mailbox. Even if you plan to continue using the computer to visit other Web sites, click Log Off and close all browser windows after every Outlook Web Access session.
