Re: Chronobis (OWA Sync) is now available for Free

I wrote this because my company, and lots of others, have a policy in place that blocks access to OMA, thereby blocking access to Windows Mobile devices.

Thanks,
Actually it is Activesync that WM uses and not OMA. OMA is basically a stripped-down version of Outlook Web Access (OWA) and should work from any cell phone with browser capability (inc. WM devices, although not much point in using it on them since they support a native mail app and can sync using Activesync). OMA is not used for synchronization. People often get Activesync and OMA confused.

Microsoft has discontinued OMA as of Exchange 2007.
