Using the Outlook Web Part and User Credentials

How do we get the OWA Web Part to work without prompting you to add user credentials and to autodetect the user without prompting for a password?

Hmmm…Interesting. Hmm 

 The best workaround I have seen for this so far is to set up x2 web sites on your OWA server. One web site can be configured with FBA [Forms Basic Authentication] or Basic Authentication [mail.yourcompany.com] which is used for primary OWA use within your organization and the other web site [spmail.yourcompany.com] is configured with Windows Authentication which is used for just SharePoint web part usage.

 Using the windows authentication site [spmail.yourcompany.com] within your web part will automatically log the user onto the OWA server without re-prompting for the password.

Makes sense when you think about it. Confused
