Default Connecting to Outlook Web Access with Outlook 2003 remotely

I am a consultant for a client who uses Outlook mail. They will not
allow us to have VPN access so that we can directly access their

2003 to access mail using the Outlook Web Access.


No. Outlook and Outlook Web Access are both clients that access an
Exchange mailbox. You can't access a client with anther client.


Then why have http access? You aren't directly accessing the Yahoo!
Server when you configure Outlook this way. You are accessing another
client via a client.


Hotmail's not-in-the-browser access is configured as HTTP Mail. And, as far
as I know, the only way to access Yahoo's mail through Outlook is via POP3
so, actually, yes you are access Yahoo's mail server directly. Heck, to be
honest, when you're connecting to Hotmail over the HTTP Mail functionality,
you're access the server directly as well, it's just a different protocol,
where both sending and receiving functions are within a single protocol
(http) rather than in different protocols (imap/pop and SMTP).
