Windows 11, Exchange 2003, and Outlook 2007

Question

Hello. Shooting in the dark wondering if it is possible to get any email client to see and sync with our exchange 2003 server at my new job. The network security at my new job isn't the best. They're still using Exchange Server 2003 with no plans to upgrade in the immediate future. Not to mention the copy of Microsoft Office is 2007 Pro.

They need to buy new computers for new employees and they all come with Windows 11 on them. The "workaround" from IT is to use OWA. Unfortunately for Exchange 2003 OWA is garbage. No folder creation, no search functions, its awful.

Is there anyway to configure OWA thru an email client so I have a better user interface? I've tried setting up Windows 11 Mail, Outlook 2007, and Em Client using OWA server information and I cannot connect to the server.
