Re: accessing emails using owa ... traceable?

The logging occurs regardless of the type of email client: Outlook, OWA, or Outlook Mobile. Your Exchange administrator can increase the level of auditing to log more details about the activity in your email account.

Both at work (Entourage is too slow) and when I'm out of the office, I access
my e-mail via our exchange server using a mac and IE, through microsoft
outlook web access. There is a password 'system' in place that uses certain
letters of our names - we are given our passwords and few people change them
- we are trusting types.
But it does mean that many of us know each other's passwords. My question is
this... in such an 'open' environment, where so many people 'know' each
other's passwords, are we all able to just surf each other's mailboxes
without detection? I have read here of the 'event 1016' that shows up on the
administration logs when someone other than the 'owner' of the account
accesses the account. But does this hold true for web access? Is it the case
that my e-mail account, or anyone else's for that matter, is an 'open book'
when accessed this way or is there a way to detect who is who, especially
when the user name and password are correct? Sometimes I read that 1016 shows
up only when an unsuccessful attempt is made to access, other times I read
that it is there every time. Can I, via getting with the administrator, prove
that someone, who has my password and is accessing via the web, was reading
my e-mail?
Thanks in advance.
