Office 365 email open in Outlook but not OWA

Hello everyone,

I have an user who's been struggling with his Office 365 email for nearly 2 months now.

He has an Office 365 student email account via our University subscription with Microsoft.

He is assigned the Office 365 Education Plus license which includes EXCHANGE_S_STANDARD. He has had this email account for years now with thousands of emails.

The problem he's having:

  1. In either Outlook or iPhone Mail, he can get his emails.
  2. Trying to login via OWA, he either gets "Something went wrong. We couldn't find a mailbox for this recipient" or no error message but he gets a blank mailbox like it's brand new never used before, no emails.


We have tried everything and anything we could think of: Verified his email license, his account, his login credentials. 

So far, nothing resolved his issue yet.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Sava,

hi sava,

in office 365, administrators can restrict users to logging into office 365 owa. the followings are the detailed steps. if you are not an admin of your office 365, let the admin help check the information.

1.login to office 365 admin center with admin credentials.
2.click users > active users > double click a user > settings > please confirm if the user is allowed under “set sign-in status”.
3.navigate to admin -> exchange
4.in the eac, navigate to recipients > mailboxes.
5.in the list of user mailboxes, click the mailbox that you want to enable outlook web app for, and then click edit .
6.on the mailbox properties page, click mailbox features.
7.under email connectivity, click enable under outlook web app: disabled.
8.click save to save your change.

if the suggestion above doesn’t work, please capture a screenshot of the whole error message and upload it for further troubleshooting.
to upload pictures, please click use rich formatting and insert/edit media. browse the picture to upload and then click insert.

best regards,
lance

Hello Lance,

Thank you so much. We looked into that but his OWA access was already enabled. So we disabled then re-abled. Didn't help.

We finally figured something out at the end, that worked. It's more of an alternative actually, having the student authenticate directly with Microsoft rather than via our AD.

Thank you very much for your help, much appreciated,

Sava,
