Exchange Server and Outlook Web Access
Just been reading this blog post by Jim Van Eaton which briefly describes the history of Outlook Web Access (OWA) and it’s journey to today.
Interesting, and we have them to thank for the core of Ajax today (XmlHttp).
I’ve been looking through the exchange blog a bit lately, and I think one of the most interesting things is the increased storage limit from 16GB up to 75GB for the Standard Edition of MS Exchange Server.
Previously, companies who were exceeding the 16GB limit were being forced to upgrade to the Enterprise edition of Exchange server. It’s great news for the smaller companies who may be just pushing towards the 16GB limit. Though larger companies would probably still push past the 75GB anyway.
I wonder though, how often do people clean out their email inboxes from all the old emails? (Especially email on a server).
Maybe people get really “attached” with certain emails. Hehe.
Oh, and I wonder how often in offices worldwide there are those “email” forwards. You know the funny ones, and the “chain letter” type ones (pass this email on to 25 people or you will have badluck for the rest of the week, etc…).
Would they be classified as spam mail? Guess in a business it would be considered spam in the sense that it isn’t related to the business. (I’m sure despite how many people would probably deny it, there would be a fair amount of this stuff out there in corporate inboxes being passed around the office).
