Executive Summary:
Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) isn’t included in Exchange Server 2007 because Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) and Microsoft Direct Push technology make it obsolete. Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) Light can be used over low-bandwidth connections or devices with limited Web browser capabilities. In Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, you can create EAS policies that require users to have passwords on their mobile devices.

Every year, mobile messaging becomes more popular. The Radicati Group (http://www.radicati.com) estimates that by 2008, 90 percent of professionals will carry a mobile device that can receive email messages. To meet this demand, Microsoft has integrated a plethora of new mobile messaging features into Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Exchange 2007 works with Windows Mobile devices and even non-Windows devices, although there are several new features that will work only with Windows Mobile 6. Because Exchange 2007’s mobile messaging features are so new, I’ll walk you through how to connect, configure, and secure a mobile device using Exchange 2007. . . .
