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.

Using Google Classroom but using Outlook instead of Gmail? With this extension enabled, Gmail links in Google Classroom will open in Outlook Web Access instead. Clicking on the extension icon will toggle it on and off so you can still open Gmail links in Gmail if desired. Not using the web version of Outlook? Check out Gmail Link Fixer, which converts Google email links to standard mail links that open in the Outlook desktop app (or other email programs). |
