Problem in accessing My Inbox web part while signing as different user

Hi,

There are 2 questions:

1) I have added My Inbox web part in a web part page on a MOSS team site. I have given access to Exchange 2007 OWA in this web part. When the user redirects to this page, security alert pops up. On clicking Yes, authentication window for Exchange pops in and when the enters his credentials again a security alert pops up. On clicking Yes, again OWA page in the web part asks for authentication. When user enters his credentials he can view his mailbox.
Can anyone please let me know why user is asked for authentication 2 times?

2) When user sign in as different user on this site, OWA doesnt ask for authentication but this user is able to see previous users mailbox.
Can anyone let me know why the second user is not able to see his mailbox without any need of authenticating OWA?

Please help!!!

Thanks,
Nilesh

Instead of OOB Inbox webpart use CEWP

in source view copy paste:

<OBJECT classid="CLSID:0006F063-0000-0000-C000-000000000046"

width="100%">

<param name="Folder" value="Inbox">

</OBJECT>

But this require Outlook on the client machine. In my scenario, I dont want to install Outlook on client machine.

I read in many posts that using Exchange 2007 passes the current user credentials to the OWA web parts. So, for this do I need to configure Single Sign On? If yes, then also let me know how do I do this?

Thanks,

Nilesh

My Inbox webpart requires a mail server address and mailbox. The mailbox is per user and is designed to be used on MySites.

I want to use this web part on a team site or a web part page. When I modify this web part, I am using the address as https://servername/exchange in the mail server address. And in mailbox I am typing ?

Can anyone please let me know what else should I do, to get my above things right?

Thanks,

I have got rid of first question. Now, I am asked for authentication only once for the owa page in the web part. I dont want this authentication also? I want this web part to take current users credentials automatically. My second question is still ON.

Thanks,
Nilesh
