Outlook Web App in Microsoft Exchange

Work and collaborate more effectively wherever you are.

Install Silverlight

Exchange 2010 and Microsoft Outlook Web App deliver a rich, familiar web-based email experience that allows you to:

  • Access email, voicemail, instant messages, and SMS text messages directly from your inbox using any of the major web browsers (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, and Chrome)
  • Use Conversation View to see messages in context, making it easier to manage email more efficiently and reduce inbox overload
  • Share your calendar with colleagues both inside and outside the organization
  • Check other users’ availability with the presence indicator and choose the best mode of communication—email, instant message, or SMS

Key features

By storing the email addresses of recent recipients, the nickname cache helps users address email more quickly by providing a suggested name list as they type. The nickname cache combines all recent recipients of email from Outlook Web App and Outlook Mobile.
By grouping messages from a single conversation together, the new Conversation View enables users to quickly identify the most recent messages and related responses. Conversation View is always preserved, even if individual email messages are located in different folders in the mailbox. By treating an entire group of messages as a single conversation, they can be managed, ignored, moved or deleted as a whole. New messages that are part of a conversation the user has chosen to mark as “ignore” are set straight to the deleted items folder.
Filters are now easier to apply from a convenient drop-down menu with common options.
Searching in Outlook Web App is now more powerful with advanced queries. Users can use searches such as “from:”, “to:”, “hasattachments:” and many others to specify filtering criteria and more quickly find the messages they are looking for. Favorite searches can be saved and accessed at the click of a mouse, providing faster access to information.
Outlook Web App no longer has pages. No matter how big the folder, all messages are on one page. Users can scroll through every message without having to advance though pages, enabling them to more efficiently access messages and scan conversations to find the communications they are looking for.
Sometimes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. MailTips warns users before they do something they shouldn’t, like sending a message outside the organization, to a large distribution list, to someone who is out of the office, with attachments that are too big to deliver and so on—preventing embarrassment, saving time and reducing the possibility of compromising sensitive information. With MailTips, users can be more efficient and more professional in email communications.
Outlook Web App gives users new and better ways to manage their voicemail. Speech-to-text previews of voicemail messages let users read voicemail without calling in or having to listen to the whole message. This enables users to get voicemail even if they are in a meeting or otherwise unable to call in to the phone system.
Exchange ActiveSync now provides the ability to send and receive SMS text messages from Outlook and Outlook Web App. Incoming messages, sent via Exchange ActiveSync to the user’s mobile device, will be seen in the usual SMS message location on the phone as well as the email inbox in Outlook Web App.
In the Outlook Web App, colorful indicators in the contact list let users know if contacts are available to chat or not. This lets users choose the communication mode that will help them get the information they need most efficiently. Outlook Web App users can set their own status so other users on the network know if they are available to chat.
Outlook Web App now delivers IM functionality within the client. Administrators can connect Outlook Web App to Office Communications Server, enabling users to see the presence indications of others and quickly decide whether to use email or just fire off a quick IM for a faster response.
Outlook Web App now allows users to share calendars with people inside and outside the organization. They can view multiple calendars side by side in Outlook Web App and use the Scheduling Assistant to schedule meetings with people inside and outside the organization.
Sharing calendars with friends and loved ones has never been easier. With Exchange 2010 and Outlook Web App, users can publish their calendar for anonymous access. Users can also print out a calendar showing day, week or a month view.
Users can now choose from 27 built-in themes in Outlook Web App for personalized communication experiences. Organizations can also create custom themes to strengthen their brands or customize parts of the user experience to give users easy access to important links, sites and features.
New device form factors such as netbooks, tablets and smartphones offer mobility but force users to get work done on ever-smaller screens. Outlook Web App has been redesigned to make better use of these new device screens, from easier button access to optimal display of message information. Even users with larger monitors can benefit from these new optimizations and get a better Web-based email experience.
Users get the same great Outlook Web App experience within Internet Explorer 7 and later, Firefox 3 and later, Safari 3 and later, and Chrome 1 and later.
