New OWA/xmail sign in screen starting tomorrow
Starting August 2nd, there will be a new sign in screen for clients using Outlook Web App (OWA) to access their Exchange email via xmail.bu.edu. See below.
After login, they will then be redirected to their old familiar-looking OWA mailbox, but they may notice that the URL will be something like “ex-legacy.bu.edu” rather than the xmail.bu.edu that they may be used to seeing. This is expected behavior and they should not be concerned with the change. The “ex-legacy” URL is just a temporary re-direct until their mailbox gets officially moved over. They shouldn’t actually type that into their browser. When their mailbox gets moved to Exchange 2010, they’ll see the new login screen AND the new OWA for Exchange 2010. It will be orange just like the new OWA login screen.
