Connecting To Webmail Via Citrix

These instructions will help users connect to the Citrix version of UTHealth webmail.

These instructions may be needed only if you are working at a Harris Health facility where UTHealth webmail’s normal address is being blocked by Harris Health. You should not need these instructions while in other locations.


Step 1: Connect To The UTHealth Citrix Server

Using Google Chrome or some other browser, go to the following web address to begin:

Step 2: Protected Resource Page

Click the Access Citrix Applications Here button.

UTHealth Citrix "Protected Resource" page, with arrow indicating to click the "Access Citrix Applications Here" button onscreen.

Step 3: Select Exchange Online Email

Sign in to the Citrix portal using your UTHealth username and password.

In most browsers, the Exchange Online sign in box will pop up automatically.

However, if you receive a download in your browser immediately after clicking on the Exchange Online icon, you should click on the download to manually open the Exchange Online sign in screen.
