Outlook Web Access - anyone know how to format emails in other browsers?

The company I work for uses Outlook Web Access for all company email.  I personally own a Mac laptop, and am struggling with the limited options available on Outlook using Safari or any other web browser.

This limited functionality means that I cannot use any formatting in my emails; and that moving emails to different folders is a lot of hassle instead of just being able to drag and drop; it won't show the folders and the emails on the same page.

Apparently, Microsoft have restricted the functionality of Outlook Web Access on browsers other than Internet explorer; yet they do not offer Internet Explorer for the Mac. 

Has anyone found a way to work around this?  Changing all our office computers to Mac is not an option at this moment; and I really do not want to go back to a Windows PC.

Which version of Exchange is your company using?
OWA in Exchange 2010 does offer full feature support for various browsers including Safari on a Mac. Previous versions indeed only provide limited support when not using Internet Explorer.

Depending on your mail application, version of Exchange and/or IMAP availability, you could configure your Exchange mail account in your mail application instead of using a browser.
