Arrived yesterday.

All very nice and shiny.

But the one feature I thought I'd be getting is still not properly
implemented...

No support for OWA / Activesync.

Gah!

(Assuming OWA == Outlook Web Access) why did you think you'd be
getting that? Surely it's up to Microsoft to make the full version
compatible with browsers other than IE (presumably by removing whatever
rubbish proprietary technology it uses).

No, you misunderstand.

With an iPhone, for example, you can stick in your OWA server details,
eg: webmail.myemployers.co.uk and get push email / contacts and calendar
sync.

You can't do this with Snow Leopard.

I'm assuming MS are only allowing Apple full access to OWA / ActiveSync
technology for mobile devices and not for full-size computers.

Office for Mac arrives tomorrow [1], hopefully, so Entourage may fix
this for me.

advantage of the 'Software4Students' thing :)

Oh, sorry. I should know better than to enter into discussions about
all this Exchange malarkey -- I'll be offering analysis of EastEnders
next!

I don't have access to an Exchange 2007 sp1r4 to test it, but Ars
Technica do and they said it works just like that:

Maybe the autodiscovery is set up inappropiately on yours?
