Just wondering if anyone has ever tried to use Outlook to connect to Outlook Web Access over http or https?

If you try to add a new Email account in Outlook 2003, there is an option to connect to an HTTP e-mail server such as Hotmail. If you choose that option you are able to fill in User information, server URL and Login information. I was thinking that if you fill all this information in and point it to my OWA server then I would be able to use Outlook instead of webmail from a remote site.

There is a reason I am trying to do this. First I dont use POP3. I have a user that is wanting to have 2 exchange accounts logged on in her Outlook account. She does not want to login to each individually. She wants to be able to compose an new email message and click the Accounts pull down menu from the Toolbar and select the appropriate account to send the email out. She does not want to have to type in the From address. She wants emails sent out from each account to go the appropriate account.

I was thinking by using the email through HTTP option that I would have this type of functionality. If anyone knows how to make this work, or maybe a work around that would have the same benefits, then I would love to hear from you.

Thanks,

Justin

Justin,

This is called RPC over HTTP, have a look at the following article which describes how to configure it because you will need ton configure somethings extra to get this working.
