If OWA seems slow to you — perhaps because you have a dial-up connection — log off. Reconnect to OWA but before you click Log On, select the Basic radio button under Client.
The Basic client uses simpler graphics and has less features so it runs faster. People who log on to OWA using other web browsers or earlier versions of Internet Explorer can only run the Basic client.
