Outlook Web Access

Introduction:

You may occasionally need to access your city email account while out of the office. Outlook Web Access, or OWA, is the website that allows you to access your email while not on your office workstation. This article will walk you through connecting to OWA for the first time and provide you a link to the website. You should be able to access OWA from any computer or web browser as long as you are connected to the internet. If you are travelling internationally, you may need to contact the help desk for assistance.
