webmail or Outlook in a remote location 1

[PeteAmsterdam]

We have a few remote offices. They cannot access outlook in a normal fashion partly bec. they go through another company's network. So we use Webmail. First of all is there a better way, and in using webmail, what happens is often attachments do not open, and some emails do not display.

Any help and knowledge would be a blessing.
Thanks,
Peter

Are you using outlook web access?

 

[PeteAmsterdam]

I think it's webmail.

Depending on the configuration you have running at the moment, a good choise would be Exchange 2003 and OWA
Outlook Web Access has a simmilar look and feel as Outlook 2003 and is very usefull when working at remote sites.

We use MX Extreme mail Firewall. What are the other options for using Exchange in remote office like that?

In addition to dccs comments, for security reasons you should use SSL to properly secure OWA, as this will encrypt your data rather than it being sent over the web in clear text.

The tutorial i used to implement it is at,
