Mine does the same, but just my home PC - laptop is fine and no one else has complained at the office. Open OWA and try to send an email - hit send and Boom closes the browser - nice work again MS!

Its a known issue, and there is a hotfix available for it:

Ask your admin to install it on the Exchange Server.

I have a problem with IE7.0 and OWA on Ex 2003. I cannot connect at all. If I revert to IE6, I get instant connection. I think Microsoft forgot to Test this feature or it is a feature they want to eliminate due to compatibility or security.

I had this problem too at first. Finally I went into the options of OWA, and under Security, clicked on the button to Reinstall MIME control ...

That took care of it.

Hrm, it didn't crap out on us here. Wonder if it's based on what SP/patch level your Exchange box is at. I'm sure sure if we're patched up or not.

I haven't touched IE7 as of yet, but I know that a few guys in my department have it installed. I'll have 'em test it against OWA in our environment. I would assume that they've already tried the IE7/OWA combo, but can't guarantee it. I do know that if they had issues, I would've heard about it. Possibly some "weird" settings in your OWA environment?

On a side note, have you considered implementing RPC-over-HTTPS for Exchange? It allows one to use the full Outlook client from anywhere, assuming HTTPS is open on the front-end server. We implemented this and everyone loves it, as OWA is a POS. =)
