[Macpartners] Mac OS X Program to connect to an Exchange Serv er

[Timothy Boyden]

An important criteria here is the version of Exchange running on the server.
Entourage only works as a full function Exchange client with Exchange 2000
and up. Outlook 2001 is the only desktop client that works with the Exchange
ver. 5 series. Microsoft's roadmap for Exchange clients for platforms other
than Windows is for those clients to use the Outlook Web Connector which
provides full access to the Exchange environment. The version of the Web
Connector in Exchange 2003 is actually really good. For Exchange 2000 and up
you can enable IMAP access for non-Microsoft clients and access most
features of Exchange.

Another option would be a Windows Terminal Server with Outlook installed
that an OS X Mac can connect to with the Remote Desktop client application
which gives you basically a Windows desktop in a window on your Mac, similar
to the MIT Citrix service.

Err...Entourage 2004 (and IIRC, Entourage v.X) supports Exchange Server
connectivity. Outlook 2001 is a Classic and antiquated client at this point.
