The company I work for runs their systems on a Microsoft Exchange
Server in a PC environment. However, they have everyone set up to be
able to access their email from any computer via Outlook Web Access.
My boss said it needs to be accessed via Internet Explorer, otherwise
it wouldn't display correctly (in Firefox or other browsers). When I
enter in the server address, I get an error saying "The Identity
Certificate is Invalid." Is there anyone who can tell me what this
means, and how I can fix it? I really need to be able to access my
Outlook via my home computer as it has all of my emails, contact info
and address book. I am not a computer person, so I have no idea what
to do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've used IE, Safari, and Firefox with OWA with no problems. And I
think they're using the current OWA.

Your company's website has a self-signed certificate to validate they
are who they say they are when you connect.
IE for Mac does not "trust" your company's self-signed certificate but
unfortunately it won't allow you to trust it either. That's why your
connection fails. Other browsers such as Safari will allow you to
explicitly trust the certificate and continue.
For OWA, you're not limited to IE. Most other browsers work just fine.
You won't get the same full functionality as IE for Windows, but you'll
have plenty of functionality to do what you need to do.
Hope this helps! bill
