                                                               i.      Login into windows using your own login and password, then open Outlook. 

                                                             ii.      Use the browser to open Outlook Web Access “OWA”

2. I haven’t been assigned a mailbox, how do I read All Staff email?

3. What is my username for OWA? Password?

   1. Your user name is first initial & last name. (Ex.  John Doe = jdoe).  For OWA though you also need to the PC what your domain is.  So you have to use either GPL\username or username@gpl.lib (for our example, GPL\jdoe or jdoe@gpl.lib)
