Allowing Mac to read Exhange server mail

You will need Outlook for Mac 8.2.1 - a copy comes with Exchange 5.5. Install on the Mac machines. Below are a couple of technet articles that I used to get ours up and running. Q 239418 and Q253885. Hope this helps. Jeff - make sure you create a mailbox on the exch server for each person.

Hi
Just use Outlook client for McIntosh, that's how we do it with Macs and Exchange 5.5 over TCP/IP protocol. It will work as long as you create an NT domain login for the clients (user accounts).
Outlook Mac Client should be available for download or purchase from Microsoft. Will enable full outlook functionality, like public folders, schedule, and so on.
The other solution is to open your Exchange to pop3/smtp connections and read the e-mail with any pop3 native client, but I think is not worth the complication...

(P.S.: You can use the Proxy 2.0 to give them access to the Internet , too. There is a version of Mac IE and Mac Office from Microsoft)

The latest version of Outlook for the MAC is 8.2.2, which you can get from
(There is also a beta of Outlook2001 for the MAC)
The big stumbling block is TCP/IP and name resolution. Make sure you follow the MSKB article: Q149596, to create hosts files on the MACs. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q149/5/96.asp
To create hosts files on the MACs. Otherwise the MAC client works as good as you can expect for a MAC

Try OWA (Outlook Web Access) you just open a web browser and it works.
