Have done some more testing with Exchange 2007 Beta 2. Managed to get the OWA Time Zone by scraping the source for the OWA Options page. I will need to find a better way of doing it in future, but as of yet, there is no other option. I can now create Replies, etc., by using CDO.Message objects, but again, I hope to be able to use Web Services for this when E2007 is finally released. I'm already getting a few enquiries about OWA-PDA and E2007, as people are learning that OMA is going to be dropped.

Applied an Exchange update this morning, and discovered a new folder named 6.5.7651.25 under the exchweb folder. I guess this means that I will have to update the OWA 2003 View Header and SCL script that I have made available here .

OWA For PDA and WAP have now been tested with the first Exchange 12 Beta. Luckily, nearly everything seems to work the same as in Exchange 2000 and 2003. There are a couple of things that don't work, though. Firstly, I can no longer get the OWA Time Zone as a WebDAV property on the mailbox, and secondly, I can no longer generate a Forward or Reply message by using OWA URL parameters like ?cmd=reply. MS say that I will need to use Web Services for things like this in future, although there is next to nothing abouth this in the (rather scant) E12 SDK documentation. I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I want these to work with E12 as soon as it comes out.
