Setting up an Outlook Exchange Anywhere login?

[AnthroAndStargate]

For all you Outlook experts out there I have a question that could use an answer.

I have an Outlook Anywhere account setup with my universities Exchange server. Basically I am connecting to our exchange server without being on campus or being on a VPN so they require a strange form of login.

They make us set the connection type to Connect to my exchange mailbox using HTTP with a manual SSL authentication. Basically when I start Outlook each time it pops up a little windows username/password box where I have to type my username and pass - each time. I don't believe it is even saved in Outlook - it is some form of an HTTP connection or something.

Now I am just a uni student so security is not as big of an issue as convenience - I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of this (what I consider to be) "problem" and if anyone knew of any workarounds around it. I was assuming there would be a way to auto cache the user pass or something else but have come up empty as of yet.

Any help would make you the hero of the digital world imho!

Thanks!

I don't think it's possible to save the username password anywhere in 'cache' so you wouldn't have to enter it in every time. For the main reasons of security I guess. Workarounds I would think could only be provided by the people running it, so those who actual maintain and run the exchange server there.
