Outlook Web Access (OWA)
Outlook Web Access is a tool for checking your email using a web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc). There are two versions of OWA currently available - standard and light. The standard version includes many of the features found in the full Microsoft Outlook client, while the light version includes a bare minimum set of features. Currently, the only way to access the standard version of Outlook Web Access is using Internet Explorer on a Windows PC. Users who access the server with Firefox or Safari currently only have access to the light version, due to incompatibilities between the browsers.

The implementation of Exchange 2010 provides our users with many changes that can enhance your productivity and ease of use. One of the more significant changes makes it possible to use most standard browsers including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome (by Google), and Safari on the PC. The latter three browsers also offer significant capabilities to our Mac users as well.
Like our previous version of OWA, Exchange offers two modes. The first is referred to as the Standard mode which offers almost all of the capabilities of Outlook. The second mode is referred to as the Light mode which offers fewer capabilities but is simpler to use.
This wiki is designed to provide our users with a reference to help them take full advantage of OAW. It is categorized into two sections: one for OWA (Standard) and one for OWA (Light). If you need further assistance please contact the ITS Help Desk at (716)888-2299. They can help you with issues you might be having that are not yet published in our self-help wiki.
