Exchange Server and Webmail

[Chris Murphy]

Occasionally, patrons on our public Internet stations report not being 
able to access their web based email accounts at their 
corporation/university/etc. In each case I've seen, the interface 
appears to be with a Microsoft Exchange Server.

By policy, our public Internet stations do not permit access to 
Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express, and I am guessing the server 
requires some form of Outlook be installed on the client computer.

Is this correct? We don't use MS Outlook, and our mail server uses 
Linux, so I am inexperienced with Exchange servers and their 
requirements for web access.

I see this problem only a handful of times per year, but if there is an 
easy way to get around it without enabling Outlook, I would like to do so.

Any advice or tips will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
