My college uses OWA (Outlook Web Access); I can check my email online no
problem using a web browser. However, I was wondering if I could use Outlook
to check that same email WITHOUT being connected to the school's server.
(As in without using a slow VPN connection.) I've tried all I know using the
POP3, HTTP, IMAP connections and I still can't figure it out. Please help!!!
 
Does the OWA URL begin with https? If it has the s, you can't use the HTTP
protocol in Outlook. You'll need to find out from the admin if they allow
RPC over HTTP or Outlook Anywhere access (same feature, new terminology).
You'll need outlook 2003 or 2007 to use Outlook Anywhere. If they don't
support it, you can't use Outlook.
