iPhOwa 0.1 Released

iPhOwa is an ASP.Net web application which interacts with Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) via its WebDAV APIs and produces an iPhone friendly interface.

On Friday afternoon I thought to myself, "Why couldn't you create a web application that used the OWA WebDAV APIs to make it easy to view Exchange email on an iPhone?". Two days later version 0.1 is ultimately the proof of concept.

Download version 0.1 at http://code.google.com/p/iphowa/downloads/list.

It is far from complete but it is usable and it supports the following:
  • View your inbox and other message folders.
  • View message contents.
What it doesn't support yet, but there is no reason it can't in the future:
  • Marking read items as being "read".
  • Replying or composing a new message.
  • Viewing other items (i.e. Calendar, Contacts, Notes)
I will continue to improve it as I have time, but help is more than welcome. I have created a Google Code project for it at http://code.google.com/p/iphowa/.
