OWA aka. Outlook Web Access is a webmail service of Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 and later. While its original name is Exchange Web Connect (EWC), many people know it as OWA, and was renamed with Exchange 2010 Server as Outlook Web App. It is a cross platform, MAPI based Webmail, Calendar and address book. Some of the Outlook features are looking alike in OWA. You don’t have to carry your computer anywhere to check your emails. OWA carries them for you.
mail2web provides you OWA login from different areas. So you may check your Exchange accounts using mail2web.
Go to mail2web and login with your credentials. A tiny note, you have to be signed up for mail2web mobile or mail2web mobile pro account.
After you signed in you’ll have such a screen.
It looks like pretty much similar with Outlook Exchange.
It is syncing with your Outlook Exchange concurrently and everything you make with OWA will be reflected to your Outlook, too. Every folder you’ve created, every rule you assigned is valid for OWA.
As you may see from the menu, there is Calender, Webmail and Adressbook. You may also arrange your tasks and flagged items.
You can also change some settings according to your needs. You may assign an e-mail signature, change message format as html or plain text.
You can create new rules or arrange them.
You can maximize your email security while downloading S/MIME feature. If you don’t have S/MIME you’ll get this warning. Simply click and install it.
If you’ve installed or already have S/MİME you can encrypt the content of your messages and add a digital signature to all outgoing messages.
Lastly, you can synchronize your OWA with your mobile phone. I synched mine with my iPhone.

Its crazy to think about how far the internet has come in such a relatively short time. I remember when hotmail was the big kahuna then yahoo then gmail and now most people have this kind of service making their computer optional for email in general. Its so crazy!
