From my home computer, how can I use Outlook to read my Exchange account mail?

Note: For information on who may have an Indiana University Exchange account, see At IU, what are Exchange accounts, and how do I get one?

Outlook Web Access

A simple way to access your Exchange account from home is to use the Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) interface. You can access this interface using your web browser, and you are not required to have Outlook installed on your computer.

To access your IU Bloomington or IUPUI Exchange account via OWA, visit:

For more information about OWA at IUB and IUPUI, see Other than Outlook, how can I check my Exchange mailbox?

Note: Outlook Web Access (OWA) is a secure site with two distinct interfaces, depending on which browser you use. For details, see In Outlook Web Access (OWA), what are the "Premium" and "Light" interfaces?

Outlook

Note: If you use Outlook or handheld synchronization software and connect to Indiana University via an outside Internet service provider (ISP), you must establish a VPN connection before connecting to your Exchange mailbox. See At IU, using an outside ISP, why can't I connect to my Exchange account with Outlook or BlackBerry Desktop Manager?

If you have Outlook installed on your computer, you can use it to access your Exchange account from home. To configure Outlook to access your Exchange account, see At IU, using Outlook 2007, how do I access my Exchange mailbox? or At IU, using Outlook 2002 or 2003, how do I access my Exchange mailbox?

For the domain to log into when opening Outlook, see At IU, for Microsoft Outlook or Exchange, what domain should I use when logging in?
