My dev lead Jim has a nice history of OWA on the Exchange blog. He talks a bit about the early versions of OWA and describes how XMLHTTP came into being for the Exchange 2000 release and how it came to be installed with IE. Neat little piece of internet...

There are a couple new TechNet articles on customizing Outlook Web Access. These are two months old now, but given that I haven't posted in some four months, I'll consider them "new". In any case, they deal with creating custom UI themes and changing...

Monday I received an e-mail from James Buchanan asking what is the query-string parameter to bring up a monthly calendar view in Outlook Web Access. Actually, I am starting to get a lot of emails from people asking about this or that, which is great and...

As you know OWA's UI or display language is determined by the Accept-Language HTTP header sent up by the browser on each request. This is controlled by a value set in Tools / Options / Languages... Now there are times when an OWA administrator might wish...

The Exchange Content Engineering team (including a couple of characters I've been known to hit the espresso stand with) along with various other folks have released a revamped Exchange TechCenter on microsoft.com as a portal for finding technical information...

I received this nice e-mail asking about creating rules on more message properties than we support today in OWA 2003. Since Exchange has been around a long time and I've only been part of the team for one release, I thought I'd share when I learn something...

Nino Bilic provides the cool images and css for the OWA XBOX theme in a recent entry on the Exchange blog. Back in early 2003 when we were finishing up development on the product and many mailboxes at Microsoft were dogfooding our bits, OWA dev decided...

The other day I received an e-mail from a guy who read an entry of mine on the Exchange team blog who wanted to know if was possible to specify the view of one's Inbox on the querystring. Surprised that people (one anyway) find my inane prattle useful...

I am happy to point to the download point for the new Outlook Web Access Administration Tool that our team has built. The tool is an installable web site which allows one to tune OWA registry settings. To quote the install point: It provides a list...

Our blogging recruiters Zoe and Gretchen are highlighting openings in Exchange . Their post focuses the responsibilities of our Software Design Engineers in Test (SDET), but I also noticed an SDE opening on the Exchange programmability team today. This...

Sometimes in using your own software you take advantage of features that other people have no idea are even in there. This morning I was talking to some people who didn't know about our type down searching in the main viewer of OWA. Although they use...

Without sounding too much like a sales pitch here, I would like to put the word out that my team in Exchange, that is building the next great versions of Outlook Web Access (OWA) and Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) , is looking for a solid developer to help...

KC posted an OWA tip from me on loc-independent URLs to OWA views on the Exchange blog. Have to blog one's self, geesh.

Here's an Outlook Web Access (OWA) feature that's in some ways little known. Although if you search for it, you can find articles talking about it. It's the ability to drag and drop attachments on to a message. What makes this possible is our S/MIME control...

Here is a handy little shortcut for you Outlook Web Access users out there, one that I use all the time. Frequently I will type in the full alias of someone in the address book and expect it to resolve directly to the person I want. Let's say for example...

Here's a little off-topic post for you all. HOWTO: Make OWA your default mailer. 1. Add the following to a .reg file Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\OWA] @="Outlook Web Access" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE...

Scoble points to an Exchange related blog and in reading through it I find a link to another one.  There's a couple OWA tips listed which is very cool. http://hellomate.typepad.com/exchange/index.rdf http://www.exchangetrainer.com/exchangetrainerrss...

Cool.  Don Browning signed up for the Outlook Web Access trial after reading my blog and sends his compliments to the team.
