I assume you are asking about the reply from a PF with OWA issue. For the post vs. note issue see Andy's reply.
Since Exchange 2000/2003 OWA has been developed from scratch a lot of architectural changes happened. While this gave us an OWA architecture that is pretty reliable and scalable (In OWA 5.5 days hitting it with more than 300 simultaneous users could bring your server close to 100% resource usage) it has some drawbacks. One drawback is that the ability to run any action which requires access to your mailbox (like a reply & forward or sending an e-mail to a contact from a public folder contact form) is not possible while you are connected to the public folder store. The reason is pretty simple: when you open a connection to a store you log off from the other store in that instance of the browser. Because OWA 2000/2003 is a client server architecture (with the ability to deploy frontend/backend systems to distribute load) the browser instance can only logon to one store at a time. So, without having a connection to your mailbox you cannot send an e-mail. I understand that there are work arounds but almost all of those I do know would require server-side code execution which would (again - as we had in 5.5) way more load on the server and as far as I understand this is not the desired results. <Cheers:Siegfried runat="server" /> Development Lead, CDOLive LLC - The Microsoft Messaging and Collaboration Application Experts http://www.cdolive.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Joshua R.
