iPad / OWA problems

Post by steveh »

Afternoon all

In their (questionable) wisdom my Company have issued us with iPhones and iPads on the iPhone I can set up a bookmark for our Companies OWA site in the format https:\\abccouriers.com\owa but on the IPad I get a message saying "Cannot Open Page: Safari cannot open the page because it is a local file", I have tried to Google it but all I can find are things referring to shortcuts to a desktop PC. Any ideas please?

I don't know anything about iPads, but
- Which version of Exchange/OWA does your employer offer? The 2010 version is supposed to have much better support for Safari than older versions.
- Can you view your work e-mail using Apple Mail? It supports connecting to Exchange.
Best wishes,
Hans

Hi Hans

We are currently using the 2010 version but that has made no difference, I can add it using Apple mail but the folder functionality that I wanted is not there. As a workaround I have downloaded Google Chrome which I really dislike but I am able to bookmark and view the OWA the way that I want to. If I find any bettersolutions I will post back for others. As usual thank you very much for your input. :cheers:
