It looks like someone finally came out with an app that avoids Safari. If activesync isn't enabled on the server, it still lets users download e-mails into a nice app. Check it out:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/...

that is the free version and here is the paid:

I have recently released an app for OWA into the app store called Outlook Web Email (theres a free version to give it a try as well!). It allows for a cleaner and easier to use interface than safari OWA in my opinion, but any feedback is appreciated!

I hate Microsoft... been trying for days to get Exchange to work ... clearly they don't want anything to work on the iPhone.

It's a joke ... they think they can control the market ... but really their pissing off their own users ... and pushing us more to apple.

I've moved to Gmail for the same reason ... Hotmail just isn't supported by iPhone.

And they want me to "upgrade" to vista?! lol

I've had a chance to do a bit more diagnostic. I installed an SSL certificate on our Exchange 2003 server and when it prompts for the login it now shows that it is a secure login, but it still doesn't work.

I contacted a colleague who runs a different Exchange 2003 server and we tried my iPhone against his OWA login - we got the same results - no login possible.

I got the iPhone SDK along with the Aspen simulator and tried that against my server - and it works! I can only hope that some bug that will be addressed soon is at play here.

Odd. After a recent upgrade, I have no problem accessing OWA on Exchange 2007 over SSL. There must be something else going on here.

I've found I can get it to work on OWA from an Exchange 2003 server, but not with Exchange 2007.

We just have http://ourdomain/exchange setup. No cert, no redirect from something like owa.ourdomain.

It pulls up the username and password dialog, then it goes into terminal coma. Nothing happens. No error on the browser nothing obvious in the event log on the server.

Apple support forums are full of people saying, "it does work. It doesn't work." but no one has identified what the mystery ingredient is.

I was really surprised by your post because I had mistakenly thought it just didn't work for anyone.

Let's say your OWA site is http://OWA.yoursite.com. What happens when you go to http://OWA.yoursite.com/Exc... or https://OWA.yoursite.com/Ex... (not sure if you have a cert, etc.)

I've only had the iPhone a few days so I assumed (falsely) that it just didn't work with OWA at all.

Since I saw this post I've been looking around and see it is hit and miss. Others have the same problem but no one seems to know why. We use Exchange 2003 and OWA also.

Yes! I connect to an Exchange2003 OWA server just about every day with the Touch.

So... an iPhone works with OWA webmail at all? I never get past the logon screen before it just stops responding... :-(

You're welcome! I've found two-finger scrolling to be a lifesaver, particularly with OWA.
