Exchange

[Mark W]

Hi,

I am trying to get an Exchange server account to work in Mail. I can get it working fine in Outlook, but can't seem to find the setting needed in Mail.

The Exchange server isn't available on the internet, however it does have a webmail interface (Microsoft Office Web Access) - to set it up in Outlook you use the relevant domain for the Exchange server as you would locally (which is exchangebe.domain.local) and then configure it to connect "using HTTP with Outlook Anywhere" and enter the webmail's access domain (webmail.domain.com) as the proxy server.

Does anyone know how to do this? Or does Mail simply not have the required features?

I don't know about Mail, but if you're already considering Entourage, be sure to get the version that supports Exchange. The Home & Student Edition of Office 2008 doesn't have a version of Entourage that supports Exchange, but the next edition up does.

Snow Leopard 10.6 is going to have built in exchange support across the board… But that won't be released till next summer

@CoMo: Does Entourage with Exchange allow Exchange over HTTP?

@shahvikram123: Do we know if 10.6 will allow this then? Because Exchange support doesn't necessarily mean what I am asking - Mail does support Exchange, just perhaps not over HTTP (which is what I am asking)

If you can get to OWA, you can probably get it to work in Entourage, if you feel like springing $400 for the version with Exchange support. Entourage uses OWA to connect to Exchange.

Sorry I misread your original post, All Apple have said is that Snow Leopard will support Exhcange; do what degree it will support exchange is unknown…

I got Entourage a couple of weeks, so I'm too new to it to have an answer. But check out www.entourage.mvps.org/exchange.

It does. Uses OWA or as it's now calle HTTP DAV all the time anyway ...
