        At first I was like ... wait a minute, I didn't start this thread.

        LOL.

          And the OWA doesn't store any personal files/cookies/data on the machine?

          Or do you always use incognito?

          There might be some cookies, but probably nothing you care about in it.
          Data - sure, but it's all encrypted assuming you have SSL on your OWA server (or are using O365). By default all browsers (as far as I know) store SSL encryption encrypted on the drive while it's sitting in the browser cache. I also think the default is to delete those items once the browser is closed.

            Once the pull happens, we are stuck.

              OST's where killing me when we first started with Exchange. Our users jump between all 12 of our physician's calendars all day long. The problem was that they couldn't do anything to the calendar (in online mode) until the calendar had downloaded to the local OST for the user in question. Then the changes the user made where not made in real time to Exchange, so someone else working on the same doctor wouldn't see the changes for several minutes or more.. and we wound up with double bookings.

              This madness forced me to disable offline mode - and pushes me even harder to an OWA only environment.

                OSTs are evil. So much IT overhead goes into that stuff.

                  Also, moving to OWA will most likely allow me to move 90% of my users to O365 and online versions of the apps, saving me a bundle over my current Full License with SA for Office I currently have, while at the same time giving me substantially more flexibility.

                    In my opinion, one of the worst things to ever happen to Outlook (second was integrating FB).

                      I've never had a use for Outlook. Honestly, never once used it and been happy. I've tried nearly every version and always ended up moving to something else.

                        My problem with OWA is that I monitor about 6 different exchange accounts (different clients) in outlook. Four of them are Office 365, one is Exchange 2010, and the last is Exchange 2007 (SBS 2008).

                        The last time I tried to get Office 365 to handle multiple accounts was a disaster.

                        Exchange 2010 OWA is ok, but not great.
                        Exchange 2007 OWA sucks donkey balls.

                          Ah yes, I never use multiple accounts so that never affects me. I did know that that was an issue but always forget.

                            I've already been tooling around with that since I use multiple accounts.

                            I can use different browsers, or incognito.

                            Not to just get the "ding" i the browser to be different for each account.

                            Damn, you guys are gonna have me 100% in the cloud before 2016!

                                huh - I really wonder what makes one person like one email client and hate another.

                                I know for example, I dislike Google's Gmail - no folders - though the tags idea is growing on me.

                                  Familiarity? I don't really know. I've always hated Outlook. Thunderbird was decent. Zimbra web and Rackspace web have been my favourites. IMP was okay. OWA is improving but is too slow.

                                    Rackspace - wow.. that is one of the ugliest ones ever! NTG has a client of mine on Rackspace - man it's just awful.

                                      Same one. Very ugly, but SO functional. Fast and simple. Actually works reliably.

                                        I figured out one thing I would miss with local access.

                                        The ability to use FILE | SEND to send files.

                                          Slightly off topic... but I really liked the speed and functionality of Zoho's old web client... the new one is slow and not very functional.

                                            I managed about 10 email accounts each day. So Outlook is the best option for me. OWA isn't even an option. All the accounts I managed are on office 365 and I rarely have issues.
