Outlook web access

Had to change name servers from AT&T to Go Daddy.  Emails are coming thru to the computer but cannot access OWA and cannot access emails on smartphones..  The name server change was done last night at 6pm.
Firewall looks good, as some emails are coming thru..

Try telnetting your server external IP as well

telnet externalserver-ip 80
telnet externalserver-ip 443

If you are not able to telnet 80 & 443, that means there is some issue to be sorted in your firewall

If your new zone at GoDaddy is setup properly, and none of your forward records changed (ie: www is still pointing to same IP), then there shouldn't be a caching issue since resolvers querying either At&T or GoDaddy would get the same results.

If your forward records did change, then you could just be dealing with cached results + high TTL values on the old records.

More info on what exactly changed, or rather what you expected to be different, would be helpful.

Not able to telnet to the server address at port 80 or 443 or 25.
Go daddy tech support confirmed that zones are setup correctly.  Websites are working without any issues.  Accessing email via OWA is the only problem.  WWW is still pointing to the same address
if u r not able to telnet port 25 by public-ip u should not receive emails from outside

if you are able to access owa from internal network and not able to telnet port 80 n 443. Then u have to check ur firewall

Check internal DNS settings too
Wait upto 72 hours for all dns servers to propagate.

Is happening when accessing OWA via internal, external, or both?  Does it happen every time or sporadically?  When you did your telnet tests, did you telnet from internal client -> internal server?
I agree that you need to wait when you change name servers, but none of the information on the A record or MX record changed, so I didn't think it would matter.  It is just moving from one name server to the other.  Also the Main name server at AT&T has not been deleted.  I was waiting to delete the name servers at AT&T once they were moved to GO DADDY successfully.  I can telnet from inside the network to the internal IP of the server but not able to telnet the Outside IP from Outside.  OWA can be accessed from inside but cannot be accessed at all from Outside.
Hope all this information was helpful.
I am repeatedly telling you.
If you cannot access owa from outside by IP then please check your firewall as same servers doesn't have role when accessing owa by IP from outside.

First you make sure you can access OWA from outside by IP. Then go to the next step of name servers.
Once you started accessing OWA by IP then wait for 72hrs.
Everybody say 72hrs but normally 24hrs is enough. 72hrs is the maximum time.
