One of the new features of Outlook 2010 (beta) is the support for multiple Exchange accounts. I'm wondering if there is any way to use this together with a (different) Outlook Web Access account to also get that email in Outlook.
Specifially, in additional to my regular corporate (Exchange) account, I also use another corporate account through OWA. With this second account, the only supported access is through OWA; while POP3 access is available, it is not actually suported.
I'm not very familiar with configuring Exchange servers, but in talking to those who are, it sounds like enabling Outlook Web Access is (slightly) different than allowing access from Outlook via HTTP(s). Is that correct? If so, it doesn't really semm quite right as absolute worst-case, one could (theoretically) resort to screen-scraping OWA.
Edit: this looks to be about the same as Activesync/OWA Desktop Client?
(This doesn't have anything to do with the question, but I'm actually using this second corporate account in Outlook by POP3'ing to Gmail, and then IMAP4 from Gmail to Outlook. Obviously, it would be much nicer to add it as a second Exchange account.).
1Not to mention they're still developing the free "Windows Live Mail" (the "Outlook Express" replacement). Why not provide a stripped down version of Outlook for free (with built-in Hotmail support rather than via a separate Outlook Connector download)? Wouldn't you want MORE people using your flagship email client? – Ðаn – 2010-07-10T16:19:01.607
They've (finally!) fixed this in Outlook 2015, although there appear to be some problems. – Ðаn – 2012-07-18T17:09:00.930
