This document will assist in the various ways Outlook and the Outlook Web Access (OWA) web application can connect to mailboxes other than your own.

  - Click on your name in the upper right corner of the window. This will bring down the "Open Other Mailbox" popup.
  - In the "Open Other Mailbox" box, enter the name or email address of the mailbox that you want to open.
  - Select the desired mailbox and click Open.
  - The mailbox will open in a new window.

  - Upon restarting Outlook, you may be asked to enter credentials. Check the name of the mail account at the top of the prompt and enter the pertinent information. **Note:** Be sure to add **ECON\** before the username, as this will allow you to successfully pass credential verification from any machine (example: **testaccount@econ.umd.edu** would have a username of **ECON\testaccount**).[[File:OutlookCreateAdditionalAccount05.gif]]
