OWA
Outlook Web Access (OWA) is a cross platform HTML based interface that allows access to email stored on an Exchange server. Calendars, tasks, address books and other features available in Outlook connected to an Exchange server are available in OWA.
Accessing your server with OWA
Accessing your server with OWA is simple. Open up your prefered web browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Chrome etc) and type into the address bar http://servername/exchange. servername is generally the address of your inbound mail server e.g. mail.yourdomain.com.au.
A dialog box will pop up, or you will be presented with a screen, asking for your username and password. These are the same as you use for either your inbound mail server or for your terminal server.
