Exchange server 2007 OWA access to internal portal server
As all of us now in Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003 we can use Sharepoint portal server or services to store Exchange attachments, Outlook can send the mail with the URL for sharepoint document workspace.
This was a very valuable feature because it helps to reduce bandwidth usage for e-mails attachments but there was major bottleneck people who access the mails from outside the organization couldn’t able to access the internal URL.
Now Exchange 2007 comes up with new solution for this matter. People who access email from outside the organization allow to access internal portal server. Portal server can reside internal network without publishing through firewall but Exchange 2007 OWA enables access to internal portal server.
This is a cool feature which enables true product integration to increase productivity and ROI.
