SUMMARY
With the Microsoft Exchange Active Server Components (also known as the Web Connector), you can use a web browser to access your private mailbox, as well public folder discussions and directory information. Developers can also easily build interactive web-based applications using the rich data storage and directory and messaging capabilities of Microsoft Exchange Server. These applications enable developers to make ordinary web pages more rich, interactive, and compelling by adding Microsoft Exchange services such as a threaded discussion.

This article outlines known limitations of the Microsoft Exchange Active Server Components.
