Re: using Exchange as IMAP client

yes, and no.

what i am trying to accomplish is using OWA to access Exchange when out of
the office.
while in the office, i use outlook to connecte to Exchange AND to connect to
an IMAP server - no problem.

when using OWA, i can't see the IMAP as it is only sync'd thru outlook. i'd
like to load something on Exchange to sync the IMAP account into my Exchange
account - hence being able to see both thru OWA

what? that makes no sense.

please explain what you're trying to do in more detail.

It makes sense to me. I think he's trying to use OWA (Outlook Web Access)
as a general IMAP client, i.e. to be able to access and manage messages on
*any* IMAP server. I'd like to be able to do that with Google's Gmail
web-based client. There are examples of web-based mail clients that can
access any IMAP server, e.g. WebAlpine, the mail2web.com web-based mail
client, and the clients that I list here:

<http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/imap/isps/#clientsServer>

As more and more people start to appreciate IMAP, we're going to see lots
of requests for mail browsers that act like web browsers, i.e.: We should
be able to use any mail browser to access any mail store in the same way
that we can use any web browser to access any web page.

The mail clients that don't satisfy that desire will either change or die.
