how to show current user's inbox in sharepoint 2007 - sharepoint-2007

Question

I found this web part for Exchange 2003, but in exchange 2007 even after user login, web part shows exchange 2007 owa login page (instead of current user inbox).
How I can show current user's exchange 2007 inbox in moss 2007? Any Idea?

Answer 1

The solution is to create a wrapper webpart around the out of the box OWA webpart and have that access the inbox by using the currently logged in user's emailaddress.
Here's the code
P.S. (note that the address of the webaccess is set in the appsettings here!)
using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls;
namespace DCubed.SharePoint.WeParts
{
/// <summary>
/// Wrapper around the My Inbox WebPart
/// </summary>
public class MyInboxEx : WebPart
{
/// <summary>
/// Called by the ASP.NET page framework to notify server controls that use composition-based implementation to create any child controls they contain in preparation for posting back or rendering.
/// </summary>
protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
// Create the instance of My Inbox Web Part
var inbox = new OWAInboxPart
{
MailboxName = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.Email,
OWAServerAddressRoot = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailServer"]
};
Controls.Add(inbox);
}
}
}
