I just tried logging in to my Sydney Uni email and found they’ve switched to Outlook Web Access.
What a staggering piece of stupidity. Locking an academic email facility in to a commercial third party is a wrong move in the first place. Given that they made this bad decision, why use Outlook Web Access and not a decent one like GMail?
Best option would have been to install some decent open source system like Zimbra or AtMail …
No doubt it made sense on some managerese-encoded list of strategic gibberish, but it’s a poor choice both technically and ethically.
