Outlook Web Access

I'm not terribly savvy when it comes to Android, but I'm pretty much sold on the Evo. Question is: Can I push my Outlook Web Access email account to an Android device?

I can do it easily w/ my BlackBerry via BIS, but have never attempted to do so with Android. I did a couple of quick searches, and didn't get any hits.

I do on my Droid.

Just add it in the Exchange email program.

Outstanding!

That means the only thing I'll miss about my foray into BlackBerry is BBM!

Just some added information. The exchange set up will require that "OMA" is enabled on your Exchange mailbox under the Exchange ActiveSync settings. The benifit to this service is you can synchronize your mail, contacts, and calendar information with your android.

Alternatively, if your mail administrators haven't or won't enable this you can configure the Droid to use POP or IMAP. Tertiary to this, you can also navigate to Outlook Web Access on your phone as long as your OWA site uses form based authentication as the Android platform isn't compatible with NTLM authentication (yet).

I work for a pretty big corporation, and they don't allow true Exchange access on personal mobile devices. Right now, I have my work e-mail pushed to my Tour via BIS. I was able to hop in and configure it as a mail account w/o issue.

I had it running in WinMo for a time as well. Just never played w/ Android much. But it sounds like I should be able to get it pushed. Logging into the browser and viewing it via the OWA website is not a fun experience, so I just want to make sure I can push my mail!
