It allows for a cleaner and easier to use interface than safari OWA in my opinion, but any feedback is appreciated!

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

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.

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

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.

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.
