What is OWA and how is it different from Outlook 2007?
Outlook Web Access (OWA) is a web-based interface for the Microsoft Exchange Server that can be used to view email, calendars, contacts and tasks. The web interface of Outlook Web Access resembles the interface in Microsoft Outlook, but lacks some features that Outlook has to offer. • The major difference between OWA and MS Outlook is that Outlook allows users to work offline (File -> Work Offline), whereas OWA requires an internet connection to function. • OWA does not have the standard menu of File, Edit, View, Go, Tool, Action, Help and the only menus available are the web browser menus. So working on OWA means relying solely on the buttons. • OWA doesnt have a Favorite Folder. • Out of Office Assistance is available from the Tools menu in MS Outlook, whereas its available from the Options button in OWA. • Signatures are not shared between OWA and Outlook. To configure signatures in OWA, click Options, then Messaging and choose Signature. • There is no Voting button in OWA. See how
