Importing OWA into Outlook 2003 Client

[Bernard Bakker]

Hi All,

I can access the e-mail account my employer provided me with through
Outlook Web Access, and OWA only (i cannot use an outlook client to get to
my email). Which is fine, the only thing in need to get to my e-mail is a
webrowser and i need to be online. Now i would like to read my e-mail when
i am offline and i was wondering if there is ANY possibility to export from
OWA to Outlook 2003 (and when i get my I-book to Entourage 2004). Again i
cannot get acces to the Exchange server directly, i have to use Outlook Web
Access.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately there is no import/export or "offline" experience for OWA. Do
you know if the employer allows for RPC over HTTPs connectivity to the
Exchange server?

Hi Neo,

I do not know if my employer Allows RPC over HTTPs, but how do i find out
and.... WHAT IS rpc over https...?

Ask the IT staff of your employer. They are there to help you.

Without going into the techno babble, RPC over HTTPs (or RPC/HTTP) is a new
way that Outlook 2003 can connect to Exchange 2003 over an HTTPS connection.
Microsoft came up with this as an alternative to VPN connections to get full
Outlook/Exchange connectivity.

So Exchange 2003 has to be installed i guess...?

Server side requirements are:
Excchange 2003 on Windows 2003 and the DC/GCs must be Windows 2003 (or
better stated, a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain)
