Outlook makes a lousy browser plus it is missing many of the security features that IE has. I would not recommend using Outlook to browse the Intra or Internet.

After furious head scratching, mtbcpa asked:

| Outlook 2007:
|
| I am trying to set up a folder in my mailbox, which I would use to
| always have a certain website up in Outlook. To do this, I have
| created a new folder to contain mail items, then selected Home Page
| under properties, entered the web address under address and selected
| the check box to show the home page by default. Seems to work great,
| with this exception - the links on the page do not work.
|
| More detail - the website I am tyring to use is nexo.com (I am
| basically trying to use it to create an intranet for my coworkers
| through the internet). The web adress of my site is:
| http://mysitename.nexo.com. On the main page there are links to sub
| pages - when I go to those
| pages in internet explorer, the address of those pages is:
| http://mysitename.nexo.com/subpagename. If I do the same thing on the
| page as it is displayed in Outlook, the site it tries to go to is:
| http://www.nexo.com/users/mysitename/subpagename. This of course is
| not an actual site and does not work.
|
| Does anyone know why IE7 would translate the destination page of a
| link differently than Outlook 2007? Any solutions? I am not too much
| of a tech guy, but is it a Java thing or something that Outlook's
| browser can't do that IE7 can?
|
| Thanks!
