OWA to POP, IMAP: OWA access, need pop3, IMAP, or Forwarding

Hi,

I have recently been given a new email address by my school, which is
only accessible through exchange and OWA.

The thing is, I already have an exchange server, and 2 pop accounts
already setup into my single profile, which is linked to my blackberry
-- everything is already well integrated. Adding this profile or OWA
screws everything up.

Is there a peice of software I can run that reads my OWA account and
forwards it to POP or IMAP? The new OWA won't even let me forward the
mail.

Thanks for the help.

Jeff.

How do you think that OWA screws stuff up? OWA is just a basic web
browser access you your email.

What protocols does the school offer? You already have a MAPI profile
with the existing Exchange server but Exchange can be eccessed by POP
just the same as anything else so long as the School admins have
enabled the functionality and issued instructions (same applies for
IMAP)

So, go and ask the school what else you can have and then come back
here with the answers if you need to.

Mark,

Thank you for the quick response. I do not believe OWA is screwing
anything up, but its not integrated into my single outlook view.

Outside of MAPI, OWA is the only additional interface into my school
exchnage server. The school does not offer any POP, IMAP, or forwarding
options from that account.

My question was if there was a workaround to have some intermediate
proxy access the OWA webpage and convert that mail into POP/IMAP
protocol. It may not be possible, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to
ask.

Jeff.

If you had access to the Administrators I might suggest that they
delete your mailbox and instead create a mail enabled contact that
pointed to your Exchange account.
