Couldn’t disagree more!
The whole notion about "modern public folder" and "polished OWA" is just nonsense, respectfully.
1. OWA display is simply awful!
2. ZERO taste in color options. (The entire universe is about options, not limitations!)
3. The text is hard to see even with 20/20 vision
4. The interface is very unpleasant.
5. Free email providers offer far more aesthetics and flexibility than OWA with Exchange 2013
6. In OWA, the address list is hard to find
7. Managing Public Folders is not an option in OWA. It was fine in 2010 but useless in 2013. Someone had to break it!
8. If User A creates a Public Folder (PF) using Outlook 2010 client, that A does not (NOT) see that PF in OWA. Unless user A goes to subscribe that PF. The situation is not funny when we are talking about hundreds of PFs.
9. In MAC, EVERY PF, had to be subscribed in Outlook. Now the same is true on OWA!
10. Speaking of MAC, they are going beyond retina display while OWA is going the other way!
11. What's wrong with selecting a group of users and enabling their email address? You can’t multi select users to mail-enable with highly polished Exchange 2013!
12. The Exchange Admin Center web should reflect EAC, not ECP (Exchange Control Panel)
13. So much empty space on EAC, but there is no space to add additional properties for users. How does that make sense?
