Note: You cannot setup an Outlook Account until you have filled out and submitted the Microsoft Exchange/Outlook Account form to the Office of Information Technology. You may locate it at http://www.apsu.edu/computer/forms.

Email Problems

Remote access of Outlook email

1. Open your web browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape) and type the following address: http://owa.apsu.edu/

AOL and CompuServe users can use the AOL or CompuServ service to "dial
in", but you must use Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator to access your
email. Once you dial in, minimize AOL or CompuServe then locate and run your
Internet Explorer or Netscape program.

2. For your username, enter username@apsu.edu (just like your email address), replacing username with your email username.

Ex: For Jane Doe, enter doej@apsu.edu in the username text box.

3. In the Password line, type your Exchange password as usual (remember that this password is case-sensitive and is the same as your logon password).

Remote access (Outlook) – Inactivity Time-Out

On the Outlook Web Access login page, please note the two security option radio buttons. The ‘Public or Shared’ option allows for a 15 minute time-out after inactivity. The ‘Private’ option allows for 24 hours before timing-out. If you are in a private environment, be sure to check the ‘Private’ radio button to avoid frustration.
