Outlook Web Access functionality and features

[Guest]

Hi,

I understand that OWA has different functionality to Outlook/Outlook
Express. I have seen OWA in action via btconnect.com, but am not sure if
that represents all the available functionality, particularly if you access
OWA through a sharepoint webpart as we are thinking of doing. (Exchange
2003, Sharepoint Server 2007)

I'd really like to see a demo of OWA as a webpart in action. Or maybe see a
list of the functionality. Does anyone know of one?

Failing that, what I'd particularly like to know is:
Will we be able to give staff full access to the GAL?
Will staff be able to use File/Save as.. to save emails in msg format?
Will staff be able to create and mainting their own contacts lists?
Will the search feature function as it does in Outlook, where a full list of
contacts is visible and scrollable?

I'd be really grateful for any help, as we dont want to go to all the
trouble of installing this all just to find it doesnt give us what we need.
