Workaround

To work around this issue in Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2007, or Exchange Server 2003, use Internet Explorer 11 in compatibility mode to access OWA. To do this, press F10 to display the menu bar, go to the Tools menu in Internet Explorer 11, and then click Compatibility View settings. Then, add the OWA site to the list of sites to be viewed in compatibility view.

Note When you use this workaround, Internet Explorer 11 saves your Compatibility View settings for the website. Every time that you access that site, Compatibility View will be used. To stop Compatibility View for a website, click the Compatibility View icon for that website. You can also add or remove specific websites from Compatibility View without accessing each website
