Microsoft Exchange is a system that provides a central location where a user can not only access e-mail but can utilize calendar information, tasks, notes, journals, and contacts. To access these features within an Exchange Server environment a user must use a program on their computers such as Microsoft Outlook. Alternatively, a web browser can be used to access Exchange by browsing to the Outlook Web Access (OWA) online application. This means access is available from anywhere through the World Wide Web.
