October 12 2017 A security update released on October 10 2017 removes the Home Page tab from Outlook 2010, 2013, and 2016. This change was made for security reasons but because so many applications use Folder Home Pages, Microsoft has a registry key available to re-enable folder home page support.

Outlook 2016

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\SecurityDWORD: EnableRoamingFolderHomepagesValue: 1

Outlook 2013

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\SecurityDWORD: EnableRoamingFolderHomepagesValue: 1

Outlook 2010

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\SecurityDWORD: EnableRoamingFolderHomepagesValue: 1

Ok, this was tickier than originally thought. Can you try replacing my previous suggested line in blue abov:

if Len(Request.QueryString("EmailAddress")) > 0 then Session.Abandon

with:

if Len(Request.QueryString("EmailAddress")) > 0 then Session("EmailTo")=""

Yeap... :-) Reproduced it.
There's Session information that is stored once a user logs in to help keeping the login state. But it's definely not helping here in this case.
You can edit the authenticate.asp file, and add the following line in bold to the existing code:

    if StrComp("POST", Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD"), vbTextCompare) = 0 then
      Set RequestCollection = Request.Form
    else
      Set RequestCollection = Request.QueryString
    End if
    if Len(RequestCollection("EmailAddress")) > 0 then Session.Abandon

   If Len(Session("EmailTo")) < 1 Then
       EmailTo = RequestCollection("EmailAddress")

Hi Roberto - it did the trick, thanks for that.

i stumbled into another issue: i have a number of users that have to check multiple email accounts, i could solve this by creating multiple of these folders in Outlook and have each of them refer to the relevant URL. but for some reason outlook will always & in each of the folders display the content behind the URL of the 1st folder i looked into.

seems to be some sort of a chaching issue? any idea's?

thanks, sebastian

sevo,

The procedure described in the article works with both Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007 (and with Microsoft Entourage for Mac).

Can you please ensure that your Authenticate.asp contains the following sections of code in bold below. If the bolded entries are not present, you may be using an older version of the file (you can download the latest from the download link on the home page). This file was only recently modified to include the ability to accept authentication requests using either "POST" or "GET" options in the username/password form. The ability to support the "GET" is what allows Outlook to display the user's spam emails automatically logging in the user.

Also, please make sure that the link in Outlook (follow the screenshot below):
http://www.logsat.com/_Media/outlooksetup2.png

is in the form:
http://my_domain.com/spam/ListSpam.asp?EMailAddress=john@my_domain.com&Password=mypassword

===========AUTHENTICATE.ASP===============


<%
'The following code allows the retrieval of parameters for both POST and GET methods, allowing this
'page to work for forms that use either of the two methods.
'The "RequestCollection" will hold either the Request.QueryString or the Request.Form data

    if StrComp("POST", Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD"), vbTextCompare) = 0 then
      Set RequestCollection = Request.Form
    else
      Set RequestCollection = Request.QueryString
    End if

    If Len(Session("EmailTo")) < 1 Then
        EmailTo = RequestCollection("EmailAddress")

        If Len(EmailTo) < 3 Then
            Call DisplayLoginForm
            Response.End
        Else
            'Generate query.
            SQL = "SELECT Password "
            SQL = SQL & "FROM tblLogins "
            SQL = SQL & "WHERE EMail = '" & EmailTo & "'"
            Set rs = con.Execute(SQL)
            Failure = False

            If rs.EOF Then
                Failure = True
            ElseIf IsNull(rs("Password")) Then
                Failure = True
            ElseIf Len(rs("Password")) < 1 Then
                Failure = True
            ElseIf rs("Password") <> RequestCollection("Password") Then
                Failure = True
            End If

            If Failure Then
                Call DisplayFailedLogin
                Response.End
            Else
                Session("EmailTo") = EmailTo
            End If

        End If

    End If

Hi Roberto, could you let me know against which versions of outlook this was tested? does not seem to work with 2003 & 2007.

can it be that the credential caching goes wrong? any advise?
