Linking Outlook Web Access to Outlook 2003

Hello,

I'm working in a trailer on a construction site, and my company's exchange
server is in another part of town.

I'm using Web Access for my email, but I don't really like how it works,
especially for adding large amounts of attachments and making large contact
lists.

I was wondering if you can somehow link your email from web access to
outlook, similar to what you can do with hotmail. So I could just send and
receive everything through outlook 2003.

Thanks,
 
B

You'll need to ask this question of your IT folks. Only they can tell you
if your Exchange server is configured to allow outside access.

OWA is a browser access to the Exchange mail server. It is designed
so you don't need a local e-mail client, and it doesn't integrate with
a local e-mail client.

If you want to use a local e-mail client, like Outlook, to access the
Exchange server, you will need to have your IT group setup external
access to their Exchange server. It is likely that they won't simply
open public access to their mail host but they might setup a VPN
account for you. You then use VPN (sometimes it requires installing
VPN client on your host) which creates a private secured network
through your ISP to your company.

Nothing you can do on your end. You will have to get the ball rolling
with the IT department at your company.
