Outlook Web Access
Outlook Web Access in Exchange 2007 has been redesigned to enhance the end-user experience and productivity. Outlook Web Access includes many new features and improvements that are not found in earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange. Features such as smart meeting booking, Windows SharePoint Services and Windows file shares integration, and the ability to manage mobile devices are now available. Outlook Web Access also includes improvements in search, reminders, the Outlook Web Access address book, and other messaging options.
Exchange ActiveSync and Mobility
Exchange 2007 offers a significantly improved Outlook user experience on mobile devices. It also includes improved security and better mobile device management. No additional software or outsourcing fees are necessary to access data from a mobile device by using Exchange ActiveSync.
Calendaring
The improved calendaring feature in Exchange 2007 helps resolve reliability issues, enhances the scheduling process, and encourages more sharing of calendar information. Overall, these improvements make Microsoft Exchange and Outlook calendaring a more reliable and efficient tool for time management.
Cached Exchange Mode
You can configure the clients on your network that are using earlier versions of Outlook and Outlook 2007 to use Cached Exchange Mode with Exchange 2007. However, Exchange 2007 provides a new notification mechanism for Outlook 2007 clients that enable the clients that are running in Cached Exchange Mode to start downloading new messages more quickly than with earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange.
Messaging Records Management
To comply with legal, regulatory, or business process requirements, many organizations must process, filter, modify, and journal (forward) e-mail messages that are transferred to and from their organization and the Internet and between people in the organization. Administrators can use the messaging records management features in Exchange 2007 to help users and organizations keep the messages they need for business or legal reasons and to discard messages that they do not have to keep. This is done by using managed folders.
Managed folders in the user's mailbox to which retention policies have been applied. The administrator or the user puts these managed folders in the user’s mailbox, and then the user sorts messages into the managed folders according to organization policy. Messages included in these managed folders are periodically processed according to the retention policies. When a message reaches a retention limit, it can be journaled, deleted, moved to another folder, or marked as past its retention date
