Listening to Voicemails via OWA

[kodre]

Is possible for users to listen to their messages via Microsoft OWA with their local PC media client such as Media Player. I thought that users had to “save” the message to their PCs then play the message, but I have a user who claims that QuickTime plays his messages with no problem after he clicks on them in OWA. What do I have to enable in Media Player to make it play messages via OWA

No reason you can't do this - it's just a WAV file attachment so it should play normally without having to save it locally first.

As a side note, you can't reply to the voice mail and have it be a voice message (it'll be flagged as a pain email with WAV attachment instead) - there is no VMO plug in for OWA...

I understand what you are saying, but I have never seen it work. It seems to be an issue with https and Media Player. I will attach the error message I get. Below is what MS says about the error:

You receive a "A security problem occurred" error message when you try to play content on a secure Web site in Windows Media Player 10
