Over the last couple of weeks I have been working on an Office 365 project, and whilst in general I have been impressed with the SharePoint aspects of Office 365. There have been a couple of gotchas. I will be positing a couple of articles dealing with these in more detail. Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to allow users in their mysites view there mails, contacts, tasks etc.
Office 365 handily provides web parts for this function. I added these to a page and configured them to look at the appropriate Exchange online instance. However, once loaded the web parts displayed the following error.
“This content cannot be displayed in a frame”
It appears that the outlook web parts will only work and display the relevent information if the user is already authenticated and logged in to O365 Outlook in a another browser session. The following article provides more information on this behaviour.
