Need help accessing Outlook Web Access (OWA)

I want to be able to to access Outlook Web Access (OWA) from my touch. It was part of the reason that I bought it. I don't want full crackberry functions, just the ability to see my email on OWA and shoot off a short reply. When I try to log in, I get the user name and password prompt, but then it just hangs. I saw on a prior post that someone said it just takes a long time, so I left for several hours and no movement. Our OWA is mail.company.com with normal user name and password. I have tried logging in using [email protected], domaine/username and tried accessing though OMA (which it turns out we do not have). Any help, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would also appreciate anyone telling me what info I need to get from my IT guy as he is less than helpful on this issue (He thinks that screen is to small to be useful so why should he bother trying to help).
Thanks

Sorry you're having trouble... Here's my experience so far (1 week with IPT)
I have used the IPT to access to separate OWA servers with good results. It's actually more usable than I expected.
Via Outlook Web Access 2007, the Use Outlook Web Access Light checkbox is automatically checked for me when I access via the IPT.
Via Outlook Excahnge Server 2003, I use the 'basic' option.
Neither server takes more than 10-15 seconds to log in.

MS Exchange portlet with Outlook Web Access

While testing the MS Exchange 5.5 portlets, I've run into a problem where it does not create a MAPI session if you are not trying to access a local exchange server. In other words, how do I modify the asp code so the portlet will work if you are accessing Outlook Web Access?
If Outlook Web Access is on a different domain than the asp's in the MSEXCHANGE55.zip portlet package, what else needs to be modified?

The problem is a bit different than the post you referenced.
Although exchange and owa existing on the server with the Exchange asp's from Oracle, the problem of authentication still exists (the asp code needs to be modified in order to fix it).
For example --
The domain of Oracle portal and the windows 2000 server that's the web provider for the portlet is somehost.oracle.com.
The email server that has OWA installed (the one that has the email we want to view) is on someotherhost.ibm.com.
When try to test the inbox.asp by trying
https://somehost.oracle.com/exchange_portlet/inbox.asp?owapath=https://someotherhost.ibm.com/exchange
the session with the exchange server via OWA is not accomplished.
What needs to be changed in the code so the asp's can reside on a server that's not in the same domain as the OWA server?

Outlook web access calendar and iphone

When i access outlook web access and try and enter a new appointment in the calendar, i get the meeting template even though the box clicked is for appointment. this happens on imac and iphone.
outlook 2003

There is a possibility that the Outlook 2003 Web Access website may not be compatible with certain browsers.
So far you have checked on
-Safari Mac
-Safari iPhone
-Firefox (PC or Mac?)
and Internet Explorer
Do you know anyone else with an iPhone that is not able to access their OWA 2003 site and use the calendar correctly as well? or someone who might be using Outlook Web Access 2007?

Error Setting up Email - Outlook Web Access

I have had my work emails on my Blackberry for the last few months. Yesterday it asked me validate my account.
I re-entered my password, but it said it couldn't connect, password/details were incorrect.
I have deleted the account, and tried to add it back in - but still comes with the same error. I can access Outlook Web Access on my laptop, so the connection details are definitely correct, but it wont let me link to my phone any more? Any suggestions?
Not sure if this is linked to the problems this week, and therefore may work once everything is back to normal, or if there is another error?
My Hotmail is still linked and is working fine.
Thanks
Gareth

hmm.. I understand.. pretty strange, I'm sure some interruptions had occured from the server it self.. unless, it won't invalidate ur account just for the sake..
all I can say is to call you operator who gives you the service and ask them to add the account by giving your OWA details as the BIS account portal, you cannot put additional informations rather than the username & pass, I assume...

Cannot view OWA email - after upgrade to Firefox 5.0, Outlook Web Access displays ASCII characters (garbage) in message body. Same issue with multiple servers.

Email body of HTML or RTF messages are rendered in ASCII characters after upgrading to Firefox 5 when viewing email in MS Outlook Web Access (OWA) light from MS Exchange 2007 servers. Issue is repeatable with two entirely different Exchange systems.
Text email renders OK. Work around is to forward email (in use MS-IE).

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

Outlook Web Access (OWA) - Sidebar has vanished.

I am having trouble with my Outlook Web Access (OWA) which I use to access my work email from home. Unfortunately, I am not able to access the same functions like flagging emails ect. More importantly, I can't seem to get the sidebar to show. This is the sidebar that I use to move between folders ect. I am only able to see the list of emails. Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to fix this? I can't even find the Logout button. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi,
maybe you can do a little trick on the HTML page:
1. Display it as an URL iView
2. Instead of deleting the button in the HTML, take a look at the HTML code, the CSS is .nbButton. Maybe you can change this for the logoff Button (eg: to .logoffButton, with the same properties as .nbButton)
3. In the portal, overwrite the logoffButton CSS so, that visibility = false. Because the portal CSS will only be used in the portal, you can maintain just 1 version of the OWA HTML file and still have the ability to "hide" the logoff Button.

I cannot sync Ical on my iMac with my professional calendar (outlook web access). and I don't understand why it doesn't work since I have already made it with my iPhone. Help

Hello,
I bought an iMac few days ago. I would like to sync ical on my iMac with my professional calendar I use in my company (from outlook web access).
I was easy to manage it on my iPhone (I just add a new "exchange" mail account and ask for a calendar sync only) and it worked very quickly.
But I cannot do it with the iMac, and I don't undersatnd why?
the domain is is used for my iPhone is the following :
owa.companyname.com
I tried all the solutions I found in this forum but it doesn't work.
Many thanks in advancefor your help.

Does it have to be an applet?
If you want the same behaviour as in the code with traffic lights, change
class MortgageApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
to
class MortgageApplet extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
and change
public void init() {
to
public MortgageApplet() {

OWA (outlook web access) server character limit

Hi,
When I try to add the server for my OWA account on the BIS account, it truncates the last portion, as it seems the server name is too long. Does anyone know what the character limit is set to (seems to only allow about 72 characters), or if BB has any plans on increasing this limit any time soon?
Thank you,
Ken

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
While I don't know the specific answer to your question, I can offer a potential workaround...
If you have been trying to configure using the device interface to BIS (Setup > Email Settings), then you might try (from a PC/browser) your carriers web interface to BIS. You can find it here:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Where_can_I_log_into_my_BIS_account%3F
And FWIW here is the OWA configuration KB:
KB03133 How to integrate a Microsoft Outlook Web Access email address with a BlackBerry Internet Service account
Best!

I have updated to ios 7 and Microsoft outlook web access for work emails no longer works nor my remote access can you help

This happened to me as well. I read somewhere else that resetting the network settings (General, Reset, Reset Network Settings) would help and it partially did. I get half (the folders) of the Web Access screen rather than a blank screen. I tried tihs a few more times and got the right half (the messages) on occasion but never the whole web page.

Help! Can I sync my Palm Desktop with Outlook Web Access?? I'm using a T5 -- NOT wireless, but cable-synced

I have spent the last 3+ weeks trying to get my Palm Desktop information to sync with an Outlook Web Access account.
I have been able to sync my Palm Desktop info with Outlook 2007, and I have been able to acess an Outlook Web Access account through a microsoft exchange server.
BUT, when I talk with tech support.... I get several conflicting answers. One tech says it should be easily possible; one says I need to buy another monthly service; one says it is impossible and I should just buy a Blackberry.
At this point.... I'm not sure I actually care what the answer is, but I would just like a definitive answer....
I have a Palm Tungsten T5.
I want to sync that Contact and Calendar information regularly with an Outlook Web Access account so that my colleagues can see and edit my schedule as needed.... then the info would sync BACK to my Palm so that I can have my current schedule with me.
Can anyone shed some light on this please??
Thank you!
Emily Koenig
Post relates to: Tungsten T5

The short answer is no.
The t-5 has the ability to connect to an exchange server but the version of versamail it has would only sync mail and calendar. You would have to have a wifi card to be able to do even that. To do what you would want you would need to upgrade the versamail client (I don't believe Palm has an upgrade for the T-5) and a wifi card.

Outlook Web Access (OWA)

My company uses an Exchange Server with Outlook Web Access enabled, but I'm not sure of the other settings (IMAP?)
When I got my iPhone I could not set up a link to the main server, but after some research discovered I could retrieve and send mail if I set up the account like this:
webmail.companyname.com
username: first.lastname (as my company designates us)
password: as required.
This worked fine until the company turned off some function of the server so that we can only access mail by signing into webmail with a browser (very cumbersome). However, users of Sprint Instincts can still access their mail by using the Instinct's mail setup and specifying an OWA account. Their mail is not "pushed" to their phones, but they can still access it by going to their mail function similar to us iPhone users just touching the mail icon. They are not looking at a website like through a browser, but rather just like any other synched mailbox.
Why can't the iPhone still access webmail like the Instinct? Is there a way around this or an App that makes webmail accessible without going through the browser?
Thanks,
Tim

Force Day View of Calendar Published from Outlook Web Access

Is there a way to force the view of the Outlook calendar published through Outlook Web Access 2013 so that it displays the day or week view without the user having to click on an icon to change the view? I want to display a day view calendar (or week
view) by default. I can successfully publish the calendar but a user has to click the icons to change the view. I want to display the calendar in an iframe on a digital sign and the user won't have a way to click or touch the icon. Are there
parameters that can be passed in the url?

Hello Brian,
I'd suggest asking OWA specific questions on the
Exchange Server for Developers forum instead. Also you may find the
Exchange Server 2010 Outlook Web App Customization SDK helpful.
As for Microsoft Office Outlook you can use the
CurrentView property of the Explorer or Folder classes which returns a View object
representing the current view. To obtain a View object for the view of the current Explorer,
use Explorer.CurrentView instead
of the CurrentView property of the currentFolder object
returned by Explorer.CurrentFolder.
The View object allows you to create customizable views that allow you to better sort, group and ultimately view data of all different types. There are a variety of different view types that provide
the flexibility needed to create and maintain your important data.
The table view type (olTableView) allows you to view data in a simple field-based table.
The Calendar view type (olCalendarView) allows you to view data in a calendar format.
The card view type (olCardView) allows you to view data in a series of cards. Each card displays the information contained by the item and can be sorted.
The icon view type (olIconView) allows you to view data as icons, similar to a Windows folder or explorer.
The timeline view type (olTimelineView) allows you to view data as it is received in a customizable linear time line.
Views are defined and customized using the View object's XML property.
The XML property allows you to create and set a customized XML schema that defines the various features of a view.

Outlook Web Access not working in Safari or any other browse

When I try to access OWA from ANY browser, Safari, IE, or Firefox, I get the same error.
"You could not be logged on to Outlook Web Access. Make sure your User Name and Password are correct, and then try again."
When I log in from my PC, I don't have this problem.
The IT guys at work claim that they won't support Mac problems. Typical....
Any thoughts?

Don't know if this will help, but are you providing the correct credentials via Safari? When you use IE, you are presented with a dialog box that asks for userid, password, and domain name. Safari and other browsers will only ask for the userid and password. Consequently, when using these browsers, you need to preface your userid with the domain name followed by a backslash. For example:
mydomain\jsmith
While Safari works with OWA, it has an annoying habit of requesting the username and password frequently as you navigate through OWA. I also find that I occasionally have to to click twice on a button to get Safari to activate a command such as reading a message or the Send button. I now use Camino for OWA access. It's cleaner and faster.

Outlook (Outlook Web Access) to Prompt on Logon

I have a system that automaticly logs into Windows 2008 R2. I would set Outlook Web Access to prompt at logon. That way I can logon as a different user

Hi,
This seems to be something controlled in Exchange, and may occur if the Integrated Windows Authentication has been enabled:
1). Open IIS management console.
2). Right click the "Exchange" virtual directory and select properties.
3). Select Directory Security tab; click Edit of "Authentication and access control".
4). Please check whether the "Integrated Windows Authentication" was checked.
5). If so, please uncheck it
6). Restart IIS admin service.
If the steps above doesn't help in your scenario, kindly refer to Exchange Forum to get more specific assistance:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/home?category=exchangeserver
If you simply want to OWA to prompt for credentials every time trying to login, please make sure that client machine has the IE security setting that requires to prompt for username and password. Let's take Internet Explorer 11 for example, go to
Internet Options -> Content -> AutoComplete
-> Settings -> Uncheck or check the User names and passwords on forms as you need ->
OK.

Cannot contact Exchange Server or open Outlook Web Access in Safari

I am a small business user operating in an Exchange environment and have been having some connectivity problems:
1. Mail: I have been able to connect to and download emails from my Exchange server in Mail (both public and private folders) but have not been able to send mails through the same account. The server address is the same address as we use for Outlook Web Access (OWA). We do not use POP or SMTP, nor do we have separate addresses on the Exchange/OWA account.
2. Safari: For some reason, it is not possible for me to open OWA; Safari just "hangs" indefinitely and does not prompt for password or username. The window just remains blank. My OWA works perfectly with Windows-based machines.
3. Address: it is not possible to contact the Exchange server from Address Book to synchronize contacts. I keep getting an error that "iSync couldn't connect to Exchange". As I have just purchsed an iPhone, it is critical to make this work, otherwise I have no contacts on the iPhone.
In all cases, my Exchange/OWA server address is *https://mail.servername.com/exchange/username* for both outgoing and incoming mails. I have checked that the password and username are correct.
Can somebody help me here? Is there a server or client side adjustment that needs to be made? Are there any special certificates that are required? Making this work is really important...
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have the exact same problem as you have detailed in your #2 comment. OWA just hangs and will not proceed to the sign in screen. Any luck getting support on this?
