Outlook on the Web

As part of our transition from Google to Office 365 apps, your Otterbein Gmail inbox, labels, contacts, and calendar were migrated to our new email service on May 5, 2017. The new service, Outlook on the web (or more commonly known as Microsoft Mail), will allow for full integration of a myriad of Microsoft apps in your Office 365 account. Otterbein email is now accessed through Office 365. You will retain access to your Otterbein Google Apps and Google Drive account. Google Apps and Drive account is accessible at http://accounts.google.com.

This move will allow for better mobile functionality, improved ease of collaboration, and Microsoft enterprise-level educational support and security. The logon URL to Outlook on the Web is office.otterbein.edu  The Office 365 link is also listed in Resources which is found in the upper right corner of Otterbein's home page. Log on with username@otterbein.edu and Ozone password. After logging in, click on the Mail app to check email. You can also use your network logon credentials and access email the following ways:
