Because I rashly thought you were using a web browser to access Outlook Web Access. If you are using something other than a standard web browser, why do you expect the Mac to behave the same way as the iPhone? The Mac is not running the same app as the iPhone. I'm confused about what you are using and why you expect it to work. Regards, -- Bruce Horrocks Surrey England (bruce at scorecrow dot com)

OK, with an iPhone, you plug in your OWA server addy, name and password, then get full access to your Outlook mail, calendar, contacts, etc. iCal, Address Book and Mail don't work with just the OWA addy, they need the 'real' server and I don't have details for that. It could have been so simple to implement the iPhone version of things into Snow Leopard, but Apple appear to have missed a trick here, IMHO. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' Alfa 156 TSpark Sportwagon Veloce Selespeed - Alfa 75 TSpark Lusso - Ducati 750SS - BMW R100RT - Toyota Prius T-Spirit
