And Again

Thanks to “alex” for letting us know. As of around noon, the HTTP service behind the “Student Logon” link on webmail.pomona.edu is down again. You know the drill (or if not, read down one entry).

Webmail vs. OWA

At the time of posting (~1pm), owa.pomona.edu was working fine, while webmail.pomona.edu was failing as it attempted to authenticate on the academic, rather than student Exchange servers.
The difference between owa.pomona.edu and webmail.pomona.edu is primarily the server on which your password is checked… along with some minor differences in interface. If you have had your password […]

Webmail and Exchange

As of around 4pm this afternoon, we recieved a number of complaints about webmail being down. While we have yet to get any information from the full-time staff with regard to the cause or estimated time of repair, we do have a few suggestions:

Try owa.pomona.edu rather than webmail.pomona.edu … if you were already using owa, […]
