The mail.wwu.edu address to be retired

The mail.wwu.edu web address will soon be retired. If you type "mail.wwu.edu" in your web browser or have that address bookmarked to find your mail, use https://office.com instead. Your WWU email address remains unaltered by this change.

Until December 31st, 2021, we will direct the web address of "mail.wwu.edu" to this page. Please note the options below for accessing your WWU email and other Microsoft 365 apps after the 31st of December:

  • Use an Outlook app to connect to your WWU mailbox by entering your username@wwu.edu 
  • Browse to https://office.com and sign in with your username@wwu.edu

Please replace any existing bookmarks or favorites for mail.wwu.edu with one that points to https://office.com or https://outlook.office365.com

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

For many years we have offered the friendly web address mail.wwu.edu as a quick way to access your WWU email. This approach has a couple of disadvantages:

  • Access is dependent on a service on campus to get to an external service hosted by Microsoft. As a result there is less resilience and more overhead to support.
  • You may not be familiar with the fact that WWU email is hosted in Microsoft 365 where you can access a full suite of applications including email, calendaring, files, and chats. A big advantage of using Microsoft 365 is that you are not relying on any specific campus-based technology to get you to your email, calendar, and other files.
