Having trouble using Webmail with XP SP2? |
Some students are reporting that they cannot use the browser-based Webmail to send or reply to messages when using Windows XP, Service Pack 2. This is because the pop-up blocker is stopping the necessary windows from opening. To resolve this situation, follow the instructions below.
How to use Browser-Based Outlook Web Access (Webmail) on a Windows XP SP2-based computer
To use browser-based Outlook Web Access (Webmail) on a Windows XP SP2-based computer, you must take the following steps first. In Internet Explorer, add the URL for the WesternU Webmail site to the Allowed Sites list for the Pop-up Blocker. To do this, follow these steps after opening your browser:
1. On the Tools menu, click Pop-up Blocker, and then click Pop-up Blocker Settings.
2. In the Address of Web site to allow box, type the URL of the Outlook Web Access (Webmail) Web site. This will be http://mail.westernu.edu.
3. Click Add, and then click Close.
4. Completely close your Web browser, then start it again. You should then be able to go to http://mail.westernu.edu and send new messages or reply to existing messages.
