New Features Added To Outlook Web App In Exchange 2013

Outlook Web App (OWA), which was originally known by the name Outlook Web Access, is the web mail service from Microsoft Exchange Server. The service can be used for accessing your emails from the Desktop with a click of the mouse. The service is available twenty fours of the in a week and it allows the users to access not only their email accounts, but also their calendar and contact details. Even though it does not give the users a complete web mail experience like the Outlook email manager program, Outlook Web App is used by some users as a lighter replacement for the program.

Usually, people use OWA when they are on a public computer and are trying to access their mailbox for viewing emails or contacts. Some even use this program as a replacement of Outlook as they do not have enough money to afford the overpriced Microsoft Outlook price. However, some use the program simply because they like it more than the Outlook email client. The truth is that even the technicians in the Microsoft support team like OWA in place of Outlook as it relieves them from the added burden of developing, deploying and maintaining a specially designed email client.

However, even with the hefty Microsoft Outlook price, some people go for the email client due to the reason that it allows the users to work offline with their calendars and emails whereas Outlook Web App requires constant internet connectivity for functioning. This is the main reason for the popularity of Outlook email client and the lesser popularity of OWA. However, with new updates installed with OWA, it will not be the same.

One of the major changes made to the service is that the company had improved the design of OWA, so that now it has a fresh and modern look. The service will now look same in all devices and platforms as it now has a simplified modern look. The company has also added new formatting options with the service for the email users to explore and use. One of the major advancements the service got was the ability to drag and drop files as attachments. You will now also have the ability to view pictures in an attachment without having to open or download them to the system.

Hope you got some idea about the Outlook Web App from iCloud 24x7. For further information of the service, contact our tech support desk.
