I will write up the solution in detail and post on my site but to answer a few peoples questions (although a few months too late):

You must set up your Outlook Exchange Account with your company BEFORE you will see the Outlook Anywhere option.

This worked on my VISTA machine, but not on my Windows 7 machine. Any Ideas?

I think I’m close, but in the lower right corner it states that I am disconnected. Do you check any other boxes and what proxy authentication setting are you using

Richard, you must have SP2 or higher for windows XP, and try installing SP2 for OFFICE 2007, then you might see the box.

I was trying to do this but for some reason once I get to the Click on the Connections tabs, I don’t see anything like the “Outlook Anywhere” section. How come?

Thanks for the post, it is nice but for me the published web address for the Outlook Web access is https://MyOWA/Exchange

and the /Exchange was not accepted so I had to remove it but it did not want to work without it!

Do you have an idea about a solution for this problem?

Thanks and Regards.

I tried to do this on my home PC for my work Exchange server mail. The first place I got lost was clicking on my email account and clicking “Change”. All I have on my home email would be POP3 mail and none of them are related to my work.

Do I create a new profile with my work information? I tried to do that and use my work web exchange address and it said Exchange server is not available.
