This is sort of urgent..... I have access to my email by using
http://mailserver/company/exchange but recently I've added, deleted and
modified my contacts and also one mailing list that I need.

When Outlook opens the web version my Contacts folder appears at first
glance to be up to date but the mailing list doesn't show any of the
changes I've made to it recently.

What must I do to keep the webmail verson of Outlook Contact's folder
email list the same as my Contacts when I'm using the computer at work?

FWIW, I can't even recall how I got any of the contacts into the
webmail Outlook, I think I had to do a bunch of fiddling around?

Outlook is very new to me as you might be able to tell! <sigh>

At work the computer runs Windows 2000 and Office XP.

Thanks for any help.

Right now, I've got a project that I need to email to all particpants
and it looks like I'm not going to be able to do it from home.

What is your definition of a "mailing list"?

List of a group of names to send email to. Outlook uses the term
"distribution list".

Are you using Cached Exchange mode and is your delivery location in Outlook
the Exchange mailbox?
 
Anything that resides in your Exchange mailbox will be accessible from Outlook Web Access. If you are using personal folders along with Exchange, then anything residing in personal folders will not be accessible.

By the way, questions such as this should be asked in an Exchange group as OWA is a function of the server, not the client.

Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next. Examine the "Deliver new e-mail to the
following location" drop-down at the lower left. If it says "yourname -
Mailbox", it's Exchange for the delivery location. Otherwise it's not.
Outlook 2002 doesn't have cached Exchange mode, and I forgot that you
mentioned you were using Office XP.

check it then.

OK, that's what it says so it's Exchange.

More confusion, yesterday at work I had to create a new mailing list, when I
got home I checked at it showed up in the webmail version exactly as it
should but the changes I'd made to the old mailing list still don't show up.
I'm confused!

However, it may not be a problem since I also found out yesterday that I
can't use the mailing list to send email using the webmail thingy so I'm
about to give up the idea of doing any work from home.

Well, found that one by accident so that fixes that problem. It's
beginning to look like it'll work OK for me... maybe. I can update the
older mailing list if I need to so even though it doesn't seem to show
changes I can still make it work.
