The MS Outlook client is the recommended and supported method to access the email accounts via faculty and staff owned computers (permanently assigned computers). Outlook Web Access is the recommended method for accessing email accounts from personally owned computers, on campus shared computers, student computer labs, and off-campus computers.

The “native” Outlook client and OWA allow you to access your email account and other services on the Exchange server. MS Outlook is the primary client for MS Exchange Server. It is designed to operate as an Independent personal information manager (PIM), or in conjunction with the MS Exchange Server for group scheduling, email and task management.

Login, using your UNID and Network password. (NOTE: Most Outlook passwords are synched with the users' NDS account. If you do not have an NDS account, or if your network password does not work, try your CIS (Kronos) password.) If your login was successful, your Outlook Web Access mailbox will open. You can send and receive email, view your calendar, and schedule appointments using Outlook Web Access. Click the Log Off button (upper right-hand corner of the OWA window) to close OWA.

Yes, but not directly. For security reasons, you cannot connect Outlook directly to the Exchange system from off campus.

Microsoft provides OWA as part of the Exchange Server, allowing users to connect remotely via a Web browser such as Internet Explorer. OWA offers most of the same functionality as Outlook 2003. It looks very similar, and, crucially, lets you see the same e-mail, calendaring, address books, etc. as you would see when using Outlook on your office PC. See similar questions...

OWA is always slightly slower than a direct connection using the Outlook client. The Outlook client connects directly to a back-end server where the mailbox data is stored. However, OWA communicates first with a "front-end" server which then relays requests to the "back-end" server. This is a security feature that enables us to never expose our critical back-end servers directly to the Internet. See similar questions...
