Windows Mail & Exchange Server

[LarryMcJ]

I've heard a lot of comments about the ability of Windows Mail in Vista
being able to work with Exchange Server, but I sure can't see where I can
enter my Exchange Server setting into it anywhere. Can anyone shed some
light on this? Many thanks.

Your Exchange Server has to have enabled POP3 or IMAP and SMTP servers. You
enter the name of the two servers just like you would for an ISP.

For help with Exchange see
microsoft.public.exchange.setup
or
microsoft.public.exchange.misc

Thanks, Frank...I went up and checked after I posted to see if that might be
the issue, and of course it was. I had setup Exchange pretty much default
for my company and actually didn't want POP3 to be active...so I'll just
leave it like it is, as this was just for a test of Windows Mail, anyway.
Thanks for the reply!

File | Import or Export | Messages works with Exchange.
