Unable to add OWA account to outlook 2007
Hi! I've got a university OWA account that I want to use outlook 2007 with. I can't manage to get it working, it's come up with various messages, such as outlook has to be closed to add email accounts and that it cannot connect to the server. Here's the info I can find on my OWA account: Mailbox owner: ] User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 Outlook Web Access experience: Basic User language: English (United Kingdom) User time zone: Exchange mailbox address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Outlook Web Access host address: https://webmail.xxxxxxxx.ac.uk/owa Outlook Web Access version: 8.2.234.1 Outlook Web Access host name: webmail.xxxxxxxx.ac.uk Client Access server name: xxxxxx.xxxnet.xxxxxxxx.ac.uk Exchange Client Access server .NET Framework version: 2.0.50727.3603 Client Access server operating system version: Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service Pack 2 Client Access server operating system language: en-US Microsoft Exchange Client Access server version: 8.2.176.0 Client Access server language: en-US Client Access server time zone: GMT Standard Time Microsoft Exchange Client Access server platform: 64bit Mailbox server name: xxxxxx.xxxnet.xxxxxxxx.ac.uk Mailbox server Microsoft Exchange version: 8.2.176.0 Other Microsoft Exchange server roles currently installed on the Client Access server: Authentication type associated with this Outlook Web Access session: Basic Public logon: No The user name I use to logon is different my email address, and I put that into outlook too. Here's what I do... Control panel/mail/new/Microsoft exchange, pop3 imap http/manually configure account Then I enter webmail.xxxxxxxx.ac.uk as the microsoft exchange server and my user name. I don't edit any settings. I get a message saying "The action cannot be completed. The connection to the microsoft exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action." I can't do it with outlook open. So where do I go from here? Thanks for any help! -- 97DT |

The fastest solution would be to talk to your university's computing services department. This is, in my opinion, not really an Outlook installation question, but rather a helpdesk ticket specific to your university environment. -- Leonid S.

... I've got a university OWA account that I want to use outlook 2007 with. You need to speak with the university's IT staff. It's very possible that they do not allow external access via the Outlook client, only OWA. The IT staff can tell you how to configure it. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
