Has anyone successfully created a fluid app for outlook web mail (aka live mail)? I've tried but either the site opens in my web browser or (after white listing variations of the site url) I get an error message stating that I need to use internet explorer or an updated version of safari. The site opens fine in my firefox web browser (my default browser) so I don't think it's a browser problem.

Unfortunately, Fluid doesn't seem to work with that site (either to do with the HTML5 or the caching). However, Prism (http://prism.mozillalabs.com/started/) works the same way as Fluid (separate process, dock icon, etc.), and presents the content perfectly. It doesn't have many features, such as User Agents, Preferences, or Themes, but for something like Skimmer it looks great! Hope this helps you, Charlie
Developer of Fluid here. Yes, you can fix this now by:
- Visit the page in Safari
- Expand the "Invalid Certificate" Dialog
- Select "Always Trust" option
Now you can it works in Fluid too
Best Answer
When you create a Single Site Browser (SSB) with Fluid, by default it only allows you to access specific URLs within it. The allowed URLs are by default (in this example):
*outlook.com*.What you need to do is open the SSB, enter it's preferences, choose the 'Whitelist' section, and add
*live.com*to the whitelist. This should allow you to access both the login page, and actual Live Mail interface without issue.If pages continue to open in your browser, take the URL and add it's domain to the whitelist.
