Can anyone access exchange via OWA?

Unfortunately, I'm not able to access our exchange server via IMAP, so I was hoping to at least be able to check it via OWA. Oddly enough, I get as far as the login using safari on the iphone, but it just stalls after that.

Has anyone had any success with OWA?

Thanks, guys. I'm not sure what it is about ours that's prohibiting me from logging on, but at least I know it's definitely possible (I guess that's a good consolation). :rolleyes:

By any chance, did you need to change any safari settings in order for it to work?

Safari just hangs for me when I try to display the OWA website. I've read lots of reports of similar behavior.

I wonder if it's due to a setting on the exchange server? (I'm obviously not very knowledgeable about mail/exchange settings)

Just wanted to see if anyone who previously was unable to use OWA has had any success since.

This is really bumming me out since it's the only means for me to receive my corporate email.

No webmail access

I am having the same problem with OWA, Safari just hangs. I have no problem on my laptop or other public computer.

Like some kind of fiend I've been scouring other forums for more information about this issue. While it definitely seems like other people are experiencing the same problem, I haven't come across an explanation or solution.

Have you noticed any patterns?

I mean, it would be good to know the version of exchange and whether it's over SSL or not, and compare that information between the ones it's working for and the ones it's not.

I ran across one instance of a person who was able to access OWA via HTTP but not over HTTPS. I'm able to log in to my bank's web site via HTPPS so I'm not sure if that's the culprit.

The only Safari setting I touched ( I think) was cookies. I have it set to accept them "From visited". Could that be the problem?

Also, I can access my bank through https so I don't thnk that's the issue here.

Owa

I did a reset on the phone as I could no get the login screen up on the owa domain. I figured Safari had cached it and maybe I typed the passworld wrong. When I went backin the login screen popped up and I tried again, and it just hangs there. I even deleted cookies and history and no go. Needs to be a solution to this soon as I am about at the end of my rope with the Iphone. I made some concessions and paid $600 and would at least like to get webmail if I cannot have activesync.

Works fine for me. A little bit of trouble navigating around the page from the folder areas to the content area, but it works.

For those of you who have gotten OWA to work, is yours using http or https?

Could this be an issue of self-signed vs. "issued" SSL certificates?

I know IE7 doesn't like my company's self-signed cert.

No, I don't think so.

We use an issued certificate (from Entrust) and I am not able to connect.

I think this issue has more to do with authentication than SSL. The reason I think that is that on our server I can browse to:

http://mail.mycompany.com and
https://mail.mycompany.com

and both work fine (i get the standard IIS under construction message because there is no page at that address).

Now if I browse to either

http://mail.mycompany.com/exchange or
https://mail.mycompany.com/exchange

I get a the hang after authentication. This makes me believe its the auth process and not the SSL negotiation.

When I browse to either:

https://exchange.company.com

it redirects me to:
https://exchange.company.com/exchange

and then hangs
