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.

Note: If you have access to Proxy mailboxes, they would be displayed automatically in Outlook 2010. These directions only apply to OWA.

1. Log in to ECON Webmail.
2. Click on your name in the upper right corner of the window. This will bring down the “Open Other Mailbox” popup.
3. In the “Open Other Mailbox” box, enter the name or email address of the mailbox that you want to open.
4. Select the desired mailbox and click Open.
5. The mailbox will open in a new window.

5. 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.
