Aaron is right,
OWA is basically a facility in MS Exchange that allows you to connect to your 
exchange mail account via a web browser but also offers a bit more tacked on. 
I think Scalix may do the job though because what I'm thinking is that most 
offices are using MS XP on their client machines  with Outlook and - once 
again it comes down to the fact that minimum disruption to the workplace is 
vital  - so I found I would effectively needed a Linux replacement for MS 
Exchange but one which would allow Outlook Web Access. 
It wasn't simply that I needed Webmail, but as many of the facilities OWA 
offers. Scalix promises to be all that, further investigation needed though.
