Web access email

[Jim Arbetter]

I have an email address through my employer that I access through web mail.
I can access the mail box but cannot send a message because I can't enter
script in the message area. I have Vista Premium on my new computer but it
doen't support Outlook. I have an older computer that has outlook and it
works fine. Help? Reply to (e-mail address removed).
ThankO

I'm not sure I understand....
what do you mean by "can't enter script"?

Outlook 2003 works fine on my Vista Home Premium. None of the Office
programs comes with Vista, if that's what you mean. It has to be purchased
separately, like you did with XP.

Outlook, version 2003 or later, will run under Vista. Version 2002 will
run,
but with a few problems. Vista doesn't come with it already installed,
though.

If you want to use webmail under Vista, Windows Mail does not support
it but you can download and install Windows Live Mail, which does:

You are probably referring to Outlook Web Access (OWA).
The server administrator in charge of your employer's Exchange server
is derelict in his duties in that the server should have been patched for
Vista clients at least 10 months ago. Show him these articles:

Ok - I am a little late on this - I have two employers who use the Outlook
Web Access. I can only access my email from vista through the employer's web
site.

I would like to use ONE email program and see all my inbox items for each
account. I currently use Windows Mail for my personal account. Then the two
different web sites for the Outlook Web access.

Would Windows Live Mail do what I want for everything?

Thanks much!

No, not if all your employers offer is Outlook Web Access; WLM cannot access
an OWA server. If your employers offered IMAP (which an Exchange Server
will certainly do), many email clients would allow you to combine all three
accounts. You could also do this with Microsoft Outlook 2003 and later if
your employers offered Outlook Anywhere, RPC over HTTP. Without this,
however, the three will have to remain separate.
