    Copy / Move Web Parts

    Edit Profile without having a My Site

    Is it possible to enable users to edit their SP profile without them having to have a My Site ? (If a user is not permitted to create a My Site then they do not have an Edit Profile link on their profile page. Seems, it all or nothing.)

    E-mail Summary Information on Portal Home Page

    Does a web part exist or does anyone know of a way to display an Exchange inbox summary of the number of unread messages on the portal home page ? This will need to work on a per users basis for which ever user accesses the page. All suggestions welcome.
