Outlook 2003 configure to work with Webaccess

[Guest]

I have a remote office that doesn't connect to our network (it is in a building that isn't ours nor is the network under my control). I was told that with Office 20003 there was a way to configure Outlook 2003 to connect to the users mail box by confiring the account to connect via webaccess. The users can go to webaccess and login and get there mail, but it would be nice for them to beable to use all of the features that Outlook 2003 has to offer. Does anyone know how I would configure this? I have tried putting in the Webaccess website into the accounts area but it still won't connect

The feature you are speaking of is known as "Outlook Web Access" or OWA. You have to have an
Exchange Server on your network and this feature has to be configured for a user to have access.

By "Webaccess," do you mean Outlook Web Access? If so, you may be able to
set it up as an HTML mail account. This worked in Outlook 2002, but is an
unsupported configuration. I haven't tried it in 2003.

In any case, it would provide access only to mail, not contacts, calendar,
etc.
