Description:

OWA, is an integral part of MS Exchange 2000 and an optional component of MS Exchange 5.5. It works with MS Internet Information Services and it allows you to access your MS Exchange Inbox from any Web browser connected to the Internet. This is a very useful addition to MS Exchange, but the standard MS OWA site is very graphical in content and not really suited to users of small mobile devices.

OWA For PDA and OWA For WAP are very lean in content, making them very suitable for use with handheld devices. The PDA version has also been used as a replacement for desktop OWA in low-bandwidth situations.

These products are the most cost-effective ways to deliver Outlook Web Access email and mailbox functionality, including Folders, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Notes, to mobile computing devices like PocketPC ( Pocket PC ), Handheld PC, Palm, Zaurus Psion, Smartphone, iPAQ, Treo, Clie, SPV, WAP etc. They are a simpler and cheaper alternative to Microsoft's Mobile Information Server.

Both products are designed to co-exist with a working, standard MS OWA installation. They can be installed on the IIS server by the MS Exchange/IIS administrator.
