What is Blitz?

Blitz (also known as Outlook Web Access or Blitz Web Access) is the nickname of the email system at Dartmouth used by students, faculty and staff. In addition to email, Blitz provides calendaring, contacts, document sharing, video and web conferencing, and unlimited file storage for each user. Blitz accounts are hosted in the cloud environment. Cloud accounts are hosted by Microsoft Online Services.
