Exchange 2007 vs. Exchange 2010 Outlook Web Access

This document is intended to describe the slight differences between the Exchange 2007 Outlook Web Access (OWA) login page and the Exchange 2010 Outlook Web Access Login Page. Below you will first see the Exchange 2007 experience and after, its Exchange 2010 counterpart.

The main difference you will notice is how the login page looks in appearance. Exchange 2007 was bluish in color, while Exchange 2010 is transparent white. The “Log On” button has been replaced with a “Sign In” button in Exchange 2010 as well. The actual log on procedure is exactly the same as previously done in Exchange 2007. You will not need to do anything different to access your mailbox via the Exchange 2010 login page.
