MS Exchange Web Access Questions

I am not a convert to the world of Mac. Eventually we will change the whole network over to Mac but I am doing a ton of testing right now. Here is my question:

The interface between Firefox or Safari and Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 is not as easy to use as with Internet Explorer on a PC. Is there a way to get this level of compatibility in the Mac OS?

Thanks everyone!

It is just as easy to use. It just doesn't have all the same features, such as the preview pane.

Otherwise is fully works.

And yes, you could run Xp in unity mode and access your exchange via IE if you wanted the same experience.

Microsoft designs OWA to work only with IE. Thus it shuts out Firefox and Opera (on Windows or any other platform) as well as Safari. Other browsers are automatically sent to the "Light" version of OWA.

This is a deliberate decision on Microsoft's part to promote Internet Explorer. It is not likely to change in the future.

You could always install ies4osx to use IE, and see if it works better then.
