Abstract

Improved approaches for providing secure remote access to email resources maintained on private networks are disclosed. The secure access can be provided through a public network using a standard network browser. Multiple remote users are able to gain restricted and controlled access to email on a mail server within a private network through a common access point. The solution provided by the improved approaches allow not only native access to email resources but also robust authentication approaches.
