Outlook Web Access 2010 screenshots

Paul Robichaux, who's certainly in my Top Ten Favourite MVPs, has posted screenshots to his blog of Outlook Web Access in Exchange 2010. The screenshots were taken using Safari on his Mac.

Like Paul, I've been using Exchange 2010 for some time. (And now, you can use it too: it's in public beta now.) I'm very pleased that Safari (and Firefox) on Mac is now fully supported: you can get the full OWA experience instead of the old OWA Light experience. OWA 2010 plus Entourage for Exchange Web Services means that I have more access to more of my data when I'm on the go.

I especially love the support of categories in OWA. I rely heavily on categories to keep my sanity (well, what's left of it). Every contact in my address book is categorised (which means that all of their incoming email is automatically categoriesd), and every event on my calendar has a category too. That means that I can glance at my calendar and know that I'm spending most of my time on, say, Entourage this week. I like having my notes and tasks there, too, but the category support is the one that really helps me to be more productive.

I'm sure that the folks over at the Exchange team blog (which has such a geeky name ("you had me at EHLO") that I can't help but love it) will be posting more details about Exchange 2010 in the future. If you're an Exchange user, I highly recommend keeping up with their blog.
