Outlook Web Access 2007, also known as “OWA 2007”, is the latest way to access your TCU e-mail from any computer with a browser and an Internet connection anywhere in the world.

OWA 2007 allows improved access to your e-mail, calendars, tasks, contacts, and public folders.  You can quickly create meetings and appointments, set out of office messages for both internal TCU users as well as for the rest of the world, search your mailbox with improved speed and accuracy, and receive alerts when you receive new email and meeting reminders.

OWA 2007 features new and improved support for multiple browsers.  When accessed through Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater, you will find that it works much like Outlook 2007.  Other browsers, such as Firefox and Safari, will not be quite as functional, however usability is greatly improved since prior versions.

2. Determine the level of security you wish to use.
   • “This is a public or shared computer”
     This setting is recommended for public locations, such as libraries, airports, and other locations where people you don’t know may logon to the workstation.  When in doubt, use this setting.
   • “This is a private computer”
     This setting is recommended for your workstation that you have control over, and will provide additional functionality in terms of document and attachment access.  This should only be used on a workstation that you trust, such as your work and home workstations.
     
     
3. Determine the version of OWA 2007 you wish to use.
   • “Use Outlook Web Access Light”
     This version of OWA 2007 allows for better performance over slower connections and improved accessibility for users that have impaired vision.  Additionally, it will run on most web browsers.  This is the only option available when using Firefox or Safari, and is optional for Internet Explorer 6 and above.

     This is the default selection for Internet Explorer 6 and above, and provides a feature-rich email experience.
