Cool!
This gets us a little further. :)
I've see examples where the OWL is not correct. unfortunately the standards
for the naming convention can range wildly.

I'd love to see if you can try this, in a browser.

http://exchangeServer.domain.com/exchange/yourUserName/

and

https://exchangeServer.domain.com/exchange/yourUserName/

It should prompt you for a username and password.
And if successful, you should be presented with the webmail interface.

If not then usually it's because your login name and actual account name are different,
odd I know. As a example my URL ends with lawrence but my login is lawrencew.

I just want to make sure the it's not a syntactical error with the OWL first.

Cheers!
