UCL Advanced Information Services Centre

Remote working: Live@UCL email and calendar

Option 1: Via the Web (Outlook Web Application (OWA))

• Access OWA (Live ID: userid@live.ucl.ac.uk eg xxxxabc@live.ucl.ac.uk)
• Using Outlook Web Application for the first time (OWA)

Option 2: Via an email client

• Outlook 2010 (Window PC)
• Outlook 2011 (mac)
• Apple iPhone, iPod or iPad

Which do I choose?

Via OWA

• Simplest solution - requires a Web browser and broadband connection
• Suitable if you need access only to your own mailbox
• Limitations of OWA over Outlook 2010

Via an email client

• Provides a better graphical and user experience than using OWA.
• You will need the email program installed on your computer - you will need to configure it for live@UCL
• Use Outlook if you need access to your own mailbox and additional mailboxes that you share with other colleagues
