Create hotmail like http based mail for outlook ?

[alex chi]

Hi,

Is it possible to create a hotmail like http based email
in Exchange, (I don't

mean OWA cos it's pure web based ONLY) ?

I'm looking for a solution for travelling outlook clients
so they can download

mail via outlook (via http port) and work offline. And
I'm looking for an

alternative sol'n besides POP3 cos many sites would not
allow POP3/SMTP access at

client side.

Any help appreciated.
TIA,
Alex

You should try one of the Exchange newsgroups - they'll be better able to
tell you how to set up Exchange to do this. Note that the HTTP account
support for anything but Hotmail is not officially supported, though last I
knew Outlook did indeed work against Exchange in this configuration.

Hi,

Actually, the question came from your answer, I'd been
using OE to receive hotmail, however, the question is, if
I want my users to use this "hotmail like feature" in a
corporate Exchange server, is this possible ?

May be it's more an Exchange question than an OE
question ?

TIA

Thanks, I'm fully aware on the fact hotmail does NOT
support the http feature, however, I'm really considering
is it possible to built a similar system for corporate
users.

ps. I'd posted in the Xchg server forum.. thx
