Safari and Outlook Web Access.

Will ios5 support the full version of Outlook Web Access 2010 instead of just the light version? We have a need to manage multiple calendars and this would be very helpful.


Thanks!

No. It will not. MS OWA i (OWA is a web based version accessed via a browser and not the iOS 4/5 mail app) is designed as a native Internet Explorer only application to enable full functionality. No questions about that one. I just asked our Exchange guru about it. The light version is designed for basic access via Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc. Why would you use the OWA anyway when you have built in Exchange capability within the mail app (minus the calendar sharing at the corp level)?


As of this time, the only way to manage multiple calendars for multiple users is to use the desktop version of Outlook and/or OWA 2010 in MSIE (I have not verified MSIE's ability to do this though). That's just the way it is, for now, when accessing MS Exchange. I have my doubts that the advanced functionality will ever be there. Why would MS assist with this when they could keep it to themselves for the Win7 phone or future versions? I wouldn't work with Apple on that if I were the MS CEO.
