You lose real estate in Outlook because the actual web page area is quite a bit smaller than with IE. It'd be swell if you were using one application to do the organizing for both mailboxes, but in reality Outlook isn't doing any organizing. All the rest of your argument is equally true when using IE and a favorite.
The point is that what you're suggesting doesn't really use Outlook for anything but a web browser, and that's not really what the original question asked for.

You lose real estate by opening a separate browser because you have yet another window open on your desktop which takes up space on the taskbar and in the background. Being able to manage e-mail, tasks, notes, contacts, and calendaring from one application is what customers want and what Outlook is for. Because we cannot access Exchange data through MAPI in untrusted domains through a single Outlook profile this is a perfectly functional solution that keeps it within Outlook. Configuring an Outlook folder to automatically open a specific URL (a calendar in this case) allows some one to access a mailbox from a non-trusted domain through HTTPS without having to run 2 separate Outlook profiles or opening a separate IE Window to read a calendar instead of having all that data displayed in Outlook, which was the desired outcome :-). It may be cheating, but it works and its what the customer (for the poster) wants. The requirement was to do it from Outlook, not a separate IE window. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2005 11:57 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: A Strange Outlook Request Opening an HTTP session in Outlook is cheating. There's no way that's any better than opening it in a web browser; in fact it's worse because you lose real estate. It's still OWA.

Not quite OL2003'ish, but it works for situations like this. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 7:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: A Strange Outlook Request That's all fine but Outlook will open only one of them at a time.

You could do this with Exchange 5.5 I suppose if you have OWA setup, but it won't be nearly as pretty as Exchange 2003's rendering of the Calendar.

Is there any way a user of one domain can see Calendar of a user in the other domain in the Outlook? Currently we have Exch 5.5 but will soon be moving to Exch 2003, if that matters. Thanks.
