We've been using Outlook Web Access (OWA) for quite some time and it seems to work quite well. I could check my mail with Outlook 2003 at work and at home (dread the thought) I could use OWA over the web and all my email, contacts, and calendar were available to me through my web browser. This was wonderful until my workstation at work decided to poop out and required a re-install of Windows XP Pro. I had backed up my mail and bookmarks before nuking out the old OS and then proceeded with the OS install and all my software. I installed Outlook 2003 and restored my mailbox and contacts, and everything seemed fine.
Fine until I tried to access my email at home via OWA. I fired up OWA on Firefox, logged in, and whoops, no mail in the inbox. This wasn't the way it was before.
The solution seems silly now that I know what happened. It has everything to do with the "Deliver new e-mail to the following location:" setting. So my problem was that it was setup to deliver new messages to my personal folder and what I really wanted was for new messages to be delivered to my Mailbox. To find this setting:
- Open Outlook 2003
- Click the "Tools" menu and select "E-mail Accounts"
- Check out the drop down in the lower left hand corner
- Pick "Mailbox - xxxxxxxxxxx"
- Clicked "Finish"
The last thing I did was to copy all the messages in my Personal Folders that I wanted in my Mailbox back.
