Problems with Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access and any web browser

My university e-mail goes through Microsoft Office Outlook and I access it through the Web Access.

I have tried with 3 browsers (Chromium, Firefox and Gnome's Web, and with all of them I am getting the same problems.

Basically, once I log in, the css seems to be screwed sometimes (not always). I click in a e-mail to read it, and it does nothing (not always), I write an e-mail, click send, and it gives me a white screen error (not always), and then it is not even saved as draft.

I have this errors like 70% of the time, or more, which means that every time I want just to read an e-mail, I spend 5 minutes reloading the website, singing out, clearing cookies,... until eventually all seems to load correctly.

No idea how I can fix this, or how I can get this to work.

thank you!

Does the login page allows you to select something like "Outlook Web Access Light" ?

The light version is set by default, and I cannot choose the non-light.

I assume it makes some kind of "webbrower check id", and mine sends whatever linux like id, which the server doesn't recognize, and it screwes me

Hmm...

My university also uses Outlook, using Offices 365 these days (used to be just Outlook with the Web Access client). I access it using Chromium/Firefox on Linux and I don't have any issues.

What happens if you spoof your user agent string to convince them you are using a 'compatible' browser and operating system?
