Short description
Allow the full version of Outlook Web Access (OWA) to be used in Chrome/Chromium in Linux, FreeBSD, and OSX. Extension for OWA - Mail, this enhances web mail experience by creating notifications and coloring email folder.
Full summary

The problem: Microsoft Outlook Web Access sniffs the User Agent HTTP header* to see if the user is using Windows and delivers a poorer experience without.

The solution: OWA-User-Agent is a simple plugin for Chrome that replaces the Linux UA string with one that is marked Windows so that full OWA can be used from within Linux and possibly OSX.

This is open source software. Sources available here: https://github.com/jamiesonbecker/owa-user-agent

No changes needed -- if the OWA URL contains /owa/ then it will work. Tested against two different enterprise installations of OWA.

  • For exactly this reason, the W3C considers user agent sniffing to be bad practice.

俺のOutlook Web App. This works with ONLY OWA mail, not with Outlook. This is NOT provided by Microsoft and created for only the creator, not for you. But you can use this. This extension provides simple notification for new email in "inbox" folder (this doesn't work with other folder), colors specified folders, moves top menu to left side and highlights information items in email. These functions can be controlled in option page.
