OWA For PDA / OWA For WAP
OWA For PDA and OWA For WAP are server-based, client-independent, mobile Outlook Web Access addons. Now you can give your mobile workforce Web browser access to their MS Exchange mailboxes from anywhere in the world that has access to the Internet, using only a simple Handheld PC or PDA (such as a Windows Mobile, iPhone, PocketPC, Palm or Blackberry device), or even an HTML or WAP enabled mobile cellphone.
MS Outlook Web Access, or OWA, is an integral part of MS Exchange 2010, 2007, 2003 and 2000 and is an optional component of MS Exchange 5.5. It works with MS Internet Information Services (IIS) 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 is not really suitable for use with small mobile devices, or in low-bandwidth situations.
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 locations where bandwidth is at a premium.
These products are the most effective way to extend Outlook Web Access email and mailbox functionality (including Folders, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes, Address Lists and Public Folders) to mobile computing devices. They also provide a way to access Exchange 2010 or 2007 Public Folders in non-MS browsers, such as Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome. Something you cannot normally achieve using the standard Basic OWA client GUI.
Both products are designed to co-exist with a working, standard MS OWA installation. They are meant to be installed on the IIS/OWA server by the MS Exchange/IIS Administrator.
