- Thread-topic: [Fed-Talk] OWA on MacBookPro
I have not heard anything that indicates that Apple's Mail.app works with
NMCI OWA. Entourage 2008 does work; I'm using it right now to send this.
NMCI OWA works with Safari as well. One thing I have found that helps is to
have two Identity Preferences created in Keychain Access, one with and one
without the trailing slash at the end of the URL. Make sure the Identity
Preferences are mapped to your Email Signature Certificate (the one with the
Email Signing Private Key), not your Identity Certificate (the one with the
Identity Private Key). You will not be prompted to select a certificate in
Safari; you must manually create the Identity Preferences.
Note that with Safari, OWA will present the less-functional version; you
will not be able to send signed or encrypted email.
