Is Outlook Web Access simular to a hotmail account? It is so hard just to
find basic info on how to sign up and where to go. I finally found how to
sign up but I cannot find out where to go to sign in on a foreign computer.
Maybe I do not understand the way it works, but I thought it was similar to a
Yahoo account. I can get on any computer anytime anywhere and login to Yahoo
and check email. I wanted to do this same thing with OWA but I cannot find
where to go to sign in. Is there a URL I go to? Does the foreign computer I
am on at the time have to have outlook? I just want to be able to check my
calendar and contacts from one place instead of like now having a work
account and home account. I set the email up to receive at either location,
but contacts and calendar events have to be entered into both places. Please
help

No, Outlook Web Access is a part of a company's corporate mail system running on Microsoft Exchange. It is not a publicly available mail service like Hotmail or Yahoo or Gmail. If you have access to an OWA account, you should ask your company mail administrator for login information.

OWA is a webinterface for a mailbox that is hosted on an Exchange server.
There is no "sign-up" as (in general) the Exchange server itself are hosted
by corporations so you'll need to have a job at that comapny to get a
mailbox. The URL for the login screen is also hosted by the company hosting
the Exchange server since they own it.
