There are many posts that cover this, including this one and this which go into detail with specific settings. After extracting out the msi file from the MS .exe download, I made the mistake of just copying the msi file to the share.

Although it looked like it was installing on boot up, the application error logs provided that the package could not be found. Copying over all the files that I extracted from the initial exe from MS resolved the issue.

I was looking to display a generic users’ inbox in a web page on my SharePoint farm. This is typically a service mailbox that people need to dip into from time to time and also send emails from. Research provided a few pointers but did not provide the entire answer I was looking for.

The standard OOTB OWA web part is fine for displaying the root inbox, but is limited when trying to display sub folders and the ‘New’ button. For this you will need to display the full OWA page.

This is simple to achieve by amending the web part and adding ?cmd=contents after the mailbox of the inbox you want to be displayed (shown below).

Assuming you have access to the mailbox the whole OWA web page will be displayed on the page. More information on additional commends when displaying OWA pages can be found here.
