Downloading Msgs From Outlook Web Access to Local HDD

[devious.oyster]

Hey Everyone,

I just got assaigned an email account for college next fall. Their
method of checking email is Outlook Web Acess. I find this program
extremly difficult to use and was wondering if it's possible to
download the messeges from my account to my HDD using a program like
Thunderbird or possibly Outlook Express?

I tried connected via POP method- using mail.SCHOOL.edu as my incoming
mail server and smtp.SCHOOL.edu as my outgoing mail server.

Is it my school that is the problem or is it simply impossible to
download msgs from Web Access?

Thank You!

Outlook Web Access is a browser-based application. It has no feature for downloading messages to a local hard drive.

Do you access it with an http:// address or an https:// address.

Thanks for replying so quickly!

I access it with an https:// address.

I could foward the msgs to my personal email account... but it'll be a
pain when replying to people...

That may be what you need to do, then, if you feel the need to have a local copy of your messages.
