OWA is used to access e-mail, calendars, contacts, tasks and other mailbox contents while on the go. Microsoft provides Outlook Web Access as part of Exchange Server to allow users to connect remotely via Web browsers. Most of the functionality in Microsoft Outlook is also available in this web "look-alike". The most important difference is that Microsoft Outlook lets you work with e-mail, calendars etc. even when you don't have a network connection, while OWA requires a network connection to function. OWA can be used from Internet Cafe s and any other location that provides connectivity to the Web. The OWA interface available in Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003 is available in two flavors. The "Premium" UI is rendered for Internet Explorer 5 and later. The "Basic" UI is rendered for other browsers. The first component to allow client-side script to issue HTTP requests (XMLHTTP) was originally written by the Outlook Web Access team. It soon became a part of Internet Explorer 5.0 and became one of the corner stones of the Ajax technology used to build most advanced web applications today (2005). The current OWA version has two modes; one for Internet Explorer (''blue''), and one for other browsers (''yellow''). The IE-mode is much smoother than the one for the non-native browsers.
