Outlook Web Access

Understanding Outlook Web Access

Outlook Web Access provides users with access to e-mail, personal calendars, group scheduling, and collaboration applications through a Web browser. Outlook Web Access offers cross-platform client access for roaming users and users without access to their own computers. Outlook Web Access was introduced in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0 to provide access to Exchange from any browser. Outlook Web Access for Exchange 2000 Server has been redesigned to make it easier to use and more reliable.

Important   Outlook Web Access is not an installation option; it is installed automatically when you install Exchange. If you do not want to run Outlook Web Access on your Exchange server, you need to stop the HTTP virtual server, which will disable HTTP services on the computer hosting Outlook Web Access.
