When I access my work e-mail from home through Microsoft Outlook I cannot
type in the body of the message (new, replies, forwards, etc). The message
area is completely blue (default color) with a small red 'X' box in the top
left of the message area. Can anyone help?

Thank You

You're talking about OWA and not Outlook. OWA is part of Exchange and not
Outlook. The correct newsgroup for OWA is exchange.clients

Anyway, tell you're mail admin to update their server. They are over 2 years
behind.

I am having the same issue. OWA works great on two of my machines...but I
just bought a desktop with Vista and I can not compose an email through OWA.
Is it a compatibility issue or a configuration issue...or what? Anyone have
any ideas?

Thanks.

OWA is a part of Exchange, not OUtlook. Post to an Exchange group.
