unable to access microsoft outlook web access via bt broadband

Anyone know why I can't access
microsoft outlook web access via bt broadband ?
It won't work on any of the 3 pc's on my network.

Router seems correctly configured as all pc's can access other https sites

https://emea.mail.microsoft.com/exchange

This is the link, I just get page cannot be displayed.

Any ideas gratefully received

Are you sure you are not trying to do this in the was that requires
exposure of the MS networking RPC ports? If so (other than this being a
very dodgy way of accessing remote mail) many ISPs now block these ports
to curtail spread of things like the Blaster worm.

Strangely, my work has just changed its MS exchange web access from http
to https because apparently people using NTL couldn't get it to work !?!

I was going to suggest checking with your ISP ..... but you're with BT,
so maybe you could save some time and just turn around and ask the wall
behind you......
