Change Password Option

The change password option is now integrated directly in the OWA 2007 UI (Figure 5.32), meaning you no longer need to mess with confi guring this feature in IIS Manager It simply just works As in previous versions of Exchange, this feature can be found on the OWA options page

Direct Link Access

Another new feature in OWA 2007 is the new direct link access feature (Figure 5.33), which allows OWA users to access documents located in a share on a fi le server or documents on a SharePoint Server

For more information on this feature, you can refer to the following article on MSExchange.org: http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Drilldown-OWA-Direct-File-Access-Exchange-Server-2007-Part2.html

Compose Messages in HTML

OWA 2007 now supports HTML as a message formatting tool, which means you’re no longer bound

to those boring plain text messages You can now create great looking messages from directly within OWA 2007

Junk E-Mail Lists

You can now add senders to your Safe Senders, Blocked Senders, and Safe Recipients lists by

right-clicking on the respective message and selecting Junk E-mail These lists can be viewed

via the OWA options page Note that the Junk Mail feature is not turned on by default and

must be enabled

Improved Signature Editor

The signature editor in OWA 2007 is also light years better than the one included in OWA 2003

Now you can actually create great looking signatures just like in Outlook The signature shown in

Figure 5.34 is my signature at work

WebReady Document Viewing Feature

(Open as Webpage)

Another nice addition to OWA 2007 is the new WebReady Document Viewing feature, which lets you tell Exchange to render certain types of fi le types into HTML if you don’t have

the right application installed locally Exchange 2007 will ship with support for transcoding

the following fi le types by default: DOC, DOT, RTF, WBK, WIZ, XLS, XLK, PPT, PPS, POT, PWS, and PDF The transcoding engine has a pluggable architecture so the Exchange Product group can add support for new fi le types in future service packs if necessary To use the WebReady

Document Viewing feature, click the Open as Web Page link to the right of the respective

attachment shown in Figure 5.35

This will render the document fi le into HTML, and after a few seconds you’ll be able to read it directly in the browser window, as shown in Figure 5.36 Now that is pretty impressive, right?

Mark All as Read

A small, and personally very useful feature not in OWA 2003, was the option to mark all items in a

specifi c folder as read when using the Outlook client With OWA 2007, this feature has fi nally made its way into the UI, as shown in Figure 5.37
