Outlook Web Access vs Outlook

Data collectors used to use Outlook Web Access, mostly via a desktop shortcut "Webmail". Several years ago a locally installed version of Outlook became available on the laptops. The locally installed version has more solid functionality than webmail, so preferrably everyone should be using this now. To find out which version you use, check to top of the window you read your email in. If it says "Internet Explorer" or "Firefox" then you are still using webmail. In this case you should contact [[]] to find out how to start using the locally installed Outlook.
