 Using
Otterbein e-Mail
The college issues an e-mail address for everyone in the
Otterbein community. For students, most e-mail addresses follow
the Firstname.Lastname@otterbein.edu format (e.g., john.smith@otterbein.edu).
Students with common first and last names may receive a slightly
different address (e.g., john.smith1@otterbein.edu).
Using Webmail
Webmail is a web program that lets you read
your Otterbein e-mail from any computer connected to the Internet.
You can use it to read your Otterbein e-mail when you are
in your room, at home, on vacation or at work.
To connect to Webmail, go to ocwebmail.otterbein.edu
(note there is no www in this address). You will see the following
log-in screen.
Enter your User Name and Password. Then click
the Log On button. Webmail will open.
The Webmail window will appear. It functions
similar to MS Outlook.

server. The Otterbein Mail Server no longer uses the pop mail
feature and users must change settings to IMAP to send and
receive mail if using a different mail client connection other
than webmail.

using:
