Accessing Public Folders in OWA

[EST7745]

I'd like to see a few Calendars in our Public folders. If I log in to OWA and click Public Folders, I will see a list of the calendars that exist in our public folders. However, if I click on one of the public folders, it will launch my own personal calendar. What can I do to get my public calendars accessible through OWA? Thanks in advance!

Public Folder calendars are not available in Exchange 5.5 OWA. See

for more info.

It recommends having the users access the public folders through an Outlook Client. Do you know if there is a way to do this through the Outlook Express client?

Sorry, I do not know. My company does not use Outlook Express. Maybe someone else here will know the answer to that question.

Has anyone figured out a good work around for this problem as of yet? It seems kind of crappy that there is not a work around for this and Microsoft acknowledging this as an issue.

If exchange 2000 OWA can do this, than why can't Exchange 5.5 do this as well? A bit odd that MS will not fix this problem, pretty crappy if you ask me.

Does anyone have any good ASP knowledge? I bet that if you compare the Exchange 2000 asp to the 5.5 asp for OWA, there might be a hint as to what to alter or add into the mix to make it work.

Any ideas anyone?
