Thank you so much for the tip about IETab – it works great. But you’re right: IETab is not available for Linux.

Hey! iirc, I was using 4SmartPhone before either James or Kevin (since Spring 2006). Why am I still on the 2003 end?

Jake,

Exchange 2007 no longer does that in most cases. Actually, neither does Exchange 2003 *if* the administrator of the server takes the time to use OWAAdmin utility to configure the setting.

Regards,
Aaron

I find OWA really annoying… especially the fact that it logs you out after 20 minutes or so. Why don’t you access your mail in Outlook over HTTP via RPC – it beats OWA hands down.

You can always use OWA in Firefox in an IETab but that of course leaves out the Mac. :(

Have you tried using Firefox with the User Agent switcher to see whether you get OWA or OWA light?

Hey Kevin,

The good news is that the Exchange 2007 SP1 version of OWA has even more improvements for non-IE users, according to the Exchange team.

That said, I completely agree that in this day and age it’s absurd to not be cross-browser friendly. Like you, it’s definitely… unattractive (even in corporate environments)… to have browser limitations.

Regards,
Aaron
