MICROSOFT EXCHANGE CLIENT FOR MACINTOSH

NOTES FOR SERVER ADMINISTRATORS

If your Macintosh clients will be connecting through AppleTalk:

  • Run Windows NT Services for Macintosh on your Microsoft Exchange Server computer and establish a zone for that computer.
  • Tell your users what AppleTalk zone they will be connecting through.
  • Make sure your Windows NT MacFile name is the same as your Microsoft Exchange Server name.

If your Macintosh Clients are connecting through TCP/IP:
  • Make sure the Macintosh Client can ping the Microsoft Exchange Server name.

SETTING UP THE MICROSOFT EXCHANGE CLIENT ON YOUR MACINTOSH

Your Macintosh must have at least 8 MB of RAM to run the Microsoft Exchange Client. If you have only 8 MB of RAM, and the system consumes more than 3 MB, you need to remove some extensions for Microsoft Exchange to run.

Before you start:

  1. In Control Panels, double-click Memory.
2. Turn on 32-bit addressing.

We recommend that you use System 7.5.3 or later. Additionally, on the Power Macintosh, we recommend that Virtual Memory be turned ON and set to a minimum of 1 MB plus installed physical memory. For example, if your Power Macintosh has 16 MB of memory installed, you should set virtual memory to 17 MB.

Steps:

  1. Insert the Macintosh Client compact disc into your Macintosh CD-ROM drive, or connect to a share on your network.
2. Open the Microsoft Exchange folder. 3. Double-click Microsoft Exchange Setup. Follow the instructions. 4. Run Microsoft Exchange. The Profile Wizard guides you through the 
   process of creating a new profile.
Supported Protocols

Both AppleTalk and TCP/IP are supported. If you are using TCP for the Macintosh, use version 2.06 or later.

FORMS ISSUES

To help users know which forms can be used on the Macintosh Client without having to open every message, the Viewer displays symbols for all messages that should have usable message contents (standard messages, post notes, resend notes, send and read receipts, signed messages, and out-of-office messages). Forms that cannot be displayed fully on the Macintosh appear with a different symbol.

PERSONAL FOLDER FILES (.PSTs) AND MESSAGE FILES (.MSGs)

The file format for personal folders and message files is different between Macintosh and Windows, so if you create one with the Macintosh Client, you won't be able to read it with a Windows Client. The reverse is also true. However, you can move messages from Macintosh to Windows and back by placing them in a server store and retrieving them on the desired platform.

INSERTING FILES INTO A PUBLIC FOLDER

To insert a file into a folder from the Microsoft Exchange Client for Macintosh:

  1. Log on to the Microsoft Exchange Client for Macintosh.
2. From the Tools menu, choose Customize Toolbar. 3. In the Available buttons box, highlight the File - Insert button. 4. In the Toolbar buttons box, highlight the button after which you want 
   to place the File - Insert button.
5. Choose Add, and then choose Close.

To insert a file:

  1. Click the File - Insert button.
2. Select the file you wish to insert.
