According to MS,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;260832&Product=exch2003

you cannot access Exchange 5.5 mailboxes using OWA 2003. However, this
article seems to state it is backwards compatible.

"Replacing your existing OWA Front-End Server will be very easy, because
the new release will provide backward compatibility with Exchange Server
2000 and 5.5. The new look of Outlook Web Access will be provided to each
user, if both ? back and front-ends are on Exchange Server 2003."

However, it seems somewhat contradictory. Anyone have this working?
