Access

Integrated email and calendaring services at Lesley University run on the Microsoft Exchange platform. You only need an internet connection to access email through Outlook (Windows), Entourage (Macintosh) or Outlook Web Access (OWA), you do not need to be on Lesley's network.

Outlook & Entourage

As of June 29th, 2011 Lesley issued computers (desktops and laptops) will need to reconfigure Outlook or Entourage to connect to the new email system in Live@edu.  You do not need to be on campus to do this, you only need an internet connection.  Click here to access the instructions: How do I reconfigure Outlook, Entourage or my mobile device for the new email system, Live@edu?

Outlook Web Access (OWA)

OWA is a web-based service that allows users to access email and calendar from any location with an internet connection. The Outlook Web Access (OWA) email login page is a Microsoft page, not a Lesley page, that asks for your Windows Live ID, which is your full Lesley email address (username@lesley.edu).You can access OWA directly via URL or through myLesley.

Direct URL Access to OWA

1. Connect to the Internet.
2. Launch a web browser such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari, and go to http://lesley.edu/email.
3. Enter your full Lesley email address in the Windows Live ID field and your Lesley password, and then click on Sign In.
4. When you are done using OWA, we strongly recommend that you log out by clicking on the Log Out button, and then exit the web browser. If you were to simply exit the web browser and you are on a public computer, your account will remain open for approximately 30 minutes and other individuals will be able to access your mail during this time.

Please Note: You cannot view or alter a calendar or mailbox for which you have delegated access using OWA.
