Issues navigating Outlook Web Access

Hello there,
I've been using Sahi for a couple of month now with great results on different applications. We've decided to incorperate checks on e-mails sent by different applications through the Outlook Web Access client and IE8.
Trouble is that in this setup on different machines, Sahi seems to give different JavaScipt errors when the site tries to either show the contents of the inbox or a search request. When not using Sahi on the same system and the same browser, the enviorment works correctly and quickly. This is quite a disapointment for us, since it seems to be one of the few things that we haven't been able to do so far.
What seems to happen is that the Sahi generated proxy has trouble communicating with the Exchange server. As said before, this only happends when we run the browser in the Sahi environment.
Many thanks in advance!

could you please try if the behavior is the same when you use a different browser?

BTW: Just curious, what are the other things you were not able to do with Sahi?
In Chrome we don't have the issue since the interface there reverts to a more simple one. The reason we're testing it in IE8 is that it's the standard browser we use for our applications and, for example, to test if the pages behind the generated links in the e-mail work properly with it.
Regarding your question what we weren't able to do, one of the more annoying things is that we're unable to accept or cancel the JavaScript warning we've set up when people navigate away from a page to make sure they don't lose any data accidentally. It is a minor thing that we can check manually easily, and the mail issue is stalling us quite a bit more.
Thanks again!
I am also facing this issue ,as rwheuving pointed out , it is unable to record inbox from IE8 while using microsoft exchange.

Given that the requirement is for checking emails, it is better to automate this using the basic client.
For the normal client, the problem is mostly because of Sahi adding content or automatically downloading AJAX responses. Have a look at the trouble shooting section to see how to fix it.
