All incoming faculty and staff are provided with a Northwestern Collaboration Services account and can immediately access University mail from the Outlook Web App (OWA). OWA provides a secure and easy way to check e-mail from anywhere: on or off campus, a Web-enabled mobile device, home, the library, etc.

In addition to OWA, centrally-provided University e-mail is compatible with and accessible via several common mail programs and mobile devices including Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile.
