In this guide, you will learn how to log in to the Outlook Web App to access a TU Dresden email inbox. You can then send and receive unencrypted emails and view your calendar.

Note: Encrypted emails cannot be read in the web interface. To retrieve encrypted emails, an email client must be set up and then the personal certificate must be stored.

Login

  1. Open Outlook Web App (OWA) at msx.tu-dresden.de.
  2. If you have already logged in to a TU Dresden service today, the mailbox will be displayed directly.
    Otherwise, log in using Single Sign On (SSO) via Shibboleth.
    You can find help on logging in here.

Calendar usage on mobile devices

If you do not want to set up a mail client via the Exchange protocol, OWA is a good choice as a calendar app due to its full support. During installation, an icon is created on the home screen which displays the OWA website without the usual web browser menus.

Android

  1. Start the Chrome browser, go to msx.tu-dresden.de and log in as described above.
  2. To get the calendar view when starting the app, select the calendar icon in the lower menu bar.
  3. Call up the Chrome menu by selecting the three-dot button.
  4. Select the "Add to Home screen" entry.
  5. If necessary, assign an individual name for the shortcut and confirm with "Add".
  6. Confirm the process with "Add to home screen".
  7. The app now appears as an icon on the home screen.


iOS

  1. Start the Safari browser, go to msx.tu-dresden.de and log in as described above.
  2. To get the calendar view when starting the app, select the calendar icon in the lower menu bar.
  3. Call up the Share menu by selecting the Share button.
  4. Select the "To home screen" entry.

Troubleshooting

Note to users with private Windows devices

If you cannot access the OWA website due to a security warning ("phishing" etc.), this may be due to the "security software" you are using. Configure this accordingly or use the "Windows Defender" already integrated in Windows, for example.
