Having an Outlook Web Access account has been getting more and more popular these days. It allows users to access their Outlook account through the web. This makes it easier for some people, especially people who are on the move or don’t have access to a main computer. To integrate an Outlook Web Access (OWA) account with your BlackBerry account:
1. Connect to the BlackBerry Internet Service website and log in to your BlackBerry account.
2. On the navigation bar, click Profile.
3. Under Email Accounts, click the hyperlink other email accounts.
4. Click Add Account.
5. Type the email address, user name, and password in the appropriate fields and click Submit.
6. Under Microsoft Outlook/Exchange, select the option for I can access my mailbox using a Web browser (Outlook Web Access).
7. Click Submit.
8. In the Outlook Web Access URL field, type the OWA account URL.
9. In the Mailbox Name field, type the Mailbox name for your OWA account.
10. Verify that your email address, user name, and password are correct.
11. Select the Leave messages on mail server check box.
12. Click Submit.
If everything was setup correctly you will see a green checkbox, if not a red checkbox and you will need to try again.

Thanks, James. I agree, accessing gmail is cool.
However, I’m wondering if a BlackBerry 8830 can access OWA in the manner that this article suggests with implementing Blackberry Enterprise server.
I would like to receive my emails on both my outlook and my blackberry device. How do i go about doing this.
How would you setup Outlook Web Access on your bberry if the website requires a personal certificate and not a username/password?
Hi Sirs,
I use blackberry device 8320 and i have upgraded the OS to version 4.5 to get the camera recoder,
after that i encounter the issue with web browser operation:
- when i access to my company firewall page i just can type in the user name after that i can not jump into the box to type in the password
- if i try to press “D” key, the sofware (currently window) disappear until i press the browser icon again,
please help to give me a solving this issue,
Thanks & Best Regards,
Chau Mai Hong
(I have a Blackberry Curve 8330 from Verizon)
I was having the same problem of being able to view but not open or reply to work emails in Outlook Webmail.
Once in your Blackberry browser Go to Options->Browser Configuration-> and keep the Emulation Mode as Blackberry
Then Go back to Options then go to General Properties and UNCLICK the “enable cursor in column view” radio button.
And I probably already had this but I’m assuming you need to have Column View as your viewing preference when logged into Outlook Webmail.
This allows me to open AND REPLY to my work email. It doesn’t even have the “sent from Blackberry Device” footer on the emails.
Try it and let me know if it works for you. Hope this helps!
To billdan01,
Your solution worked for me. I thought I had tried everything. The cursor enabled was what was causing me my issues.
Thank you!!!!

Until about a week ago I was able to accees my work e-mail through the MIcrosoft exchange webmail system. There must have been an upgrade in their system. Now all I can do is see that I have e-mail I can not read it or of course reply, since I can not open the messages. I do not have access to a OWA account. I can still read and reply through my desktop computer, but I would really like to be mobile. Is there some way I can adjust my Blackberry8310 to allow me access to read the microsoft exchange server? I just recently did an update to the 4.5 version of my Blackberry.
Trying to set up work email using Web outlook Access. My work email uses HTTPS.
Does that stop it working?
I’m hoping to set it up this way as an alternative way of recieving emails.
My work email was orginally set up without needing to use WOA but when my password changed and I tried to change the password on the BB it came up with a validation error. I deleted the account and tried to set it up again without sucess.
Whoa… this site is pretty awesome
your layout is really well designed, and your blogs are (judging from what i’ve read) very interesting. heehee… consider yourself favorited. 
I found that if I changed browers from media net to opera mini I was able to start reading and replying to my e-mail through outlook.
I’ve been looking for this very subject for awhile now – no one has content just like this. Really glad I found this site. Are you willing to be a guest blogger on my site? I’ll email you with some details if you want.
Denise— how did you change from media net to opera mini– I have been trying everything to be able to read woa e-mails with no success???
To billdan01…thanks for the tip..it worked! I had VZB support on the phone yesterday for an hour and they could not figure out the viewing and responding to my work email issues. He said he would call me back..he never did!
Good day.
Nancyb, go to http://www.operamini.com and check out their website. The way to download and get it to your phone is spelled out there. Once in Opera mini, you will have to type in the server address for your webmailin the search position. Its a little different, but the user name and password pop up and you put in that information and then the e-mail opens. I hope you have success.
To BillDan01,
You are the man – you solved my dilemma with replying to Outlook email on my BB Curve. Thank you – that was a huge problem for me.

Until about a week ago I was able to access my OWA then I got an email that it wasnt working.
Ive tried to re set it up but dont know what my server name is or URL or how to get it and Id rather not go to my IT dept to ask for it.
Is there a way to look it up?
Hi Amy,
Usually it is https:///owa or https:///exchange.
Alternatively, you can try it without the https, and just use http instead.

By default, Blackberry support push mail. i am satisfied with this feature and dont need outlook mail.
I cannot get my black berry to receive emails from my school email. its a microsoft outlook web access. for the provide settings thing what is the mailbox name i put in? what exactly is it asking for. I dont know if that has anything to do with it or not but this is the main reason i got a black berry.
Pretty awesome stuff, I love it hah
