Hopefully I'm just missing something simple...
I've seen quite a few posts where people indicate they are
using Outlook Web Access (OWA) for email. How are they
getting around the limitations of Pocket Internet Explorer
(i.e. not being able to create a pop-up window to say read
an email)?

While you can use OWA with Pocket IE, there are some limitations (as you
have noted). In some cases, I believe users have confused OWA with OMA
("Outlook Mobile Access" ), which provides a WAP interface to
Outlook/Exchange data and works very well with Pocket IE.
I do know of several people (myself included) who have used OWA on their
Pocket PC with browsers other than Pocket IE. Both Thunderhawk and NetFront
work quite well with OWA and render the pages with great detail. NetFront
works particularly well when used in conjunction with the Toshiba e805 and
VGA mode. You can check out a piece at PocketPCTools demonstrating this.
Generally speaking, I would recommend using the OMA access if using a Pocket
PC and only Pocket IE.

Ahh... and OMA is only for Exchange 2003, correct?

I've done a PDA version of OWA that might interest you, but it needs to be
installed on the OWA server by your Exchange/IIS admin.
