Macs and Exchange

Hi,

i am a windows lad through and through, however i have been placed in a situation where our client has one MAC which connects to an exchange server. Recently, this has stopped working for all internal mail and previously it has been fine. (2 years). The other engineers tried some other program called Entourage or something and it crashes constantly...

I am just after advice/guides on what to look for tomorrow on site

thanks

As strung said Entourage is Outlook for the Mac. I do have issues with Entourage not working well even when on 2004 with all patches but finding something else that works well with Exchange isn't easy. Hopefully Strungs links will help you :)

Hello Lads,

Finished off on site this morning and it was a simple fix......the email settings within "mail" worked only when the server was set to 10.X.X.X:Username as soon as that was set everything started working...

Thanks for your help and the guides are sweet.....i now have to go ad figure out why 2003 Server wont talk with MAC's.......dead set........!

Hi all thanks for the numerous suggestions. I am trying this out on the windows 7 since I do not have the Macbook with me but I am getting this error telling me my credentials are incorrect.
Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP): The connection to the server failed.
Send test e-mail message: Your e-mail server rejected your login. Verify your user name and password in your account in your account properties.

Is there a special format you have to enter the credentials?
