The first time you access your email inbox via web access, you will be asked

• to select the language in which you want to use Outlook on the web and
• to select your time zone.

You will not receive these prompts if you were already an Outlook on the web user.

You can access the various groupware services such as Email, Calendar, People and Tasks by clicking on the square icon in the upper left corner.

Outlook on the web provides a context-sensitive menu (via a right click) for the selected object.

Many actions, such as moving or deleting emails, can be performed by dragging and dropping the email to the desired folder or to Deleted Items.

To sign out of Outlook on the web, click on the account icon in the upper right corner and then click on ‘Sign out’ in the menu.
