Hi All, I know this is totally off-topic, but I also know there are a
few network adminitrators out there who read this so I thought you
might be able to help!
We run a dual machine office- PCs and Macs with a Windows Server 2003
machine dealing with the mail and file storage and stuff.
Recently we updated the Macs to Mac Book Pros and I've been having a
lot of fun trying to get Mac Mail to work properly with the exchange
server. When I set up the accounts I choose the Exchange option (as
opposed to IMAP or POP) and run through the account settings, which
all seems to work fine. I'm using our external access address for the
mail server so that wherever you are you can get to the mail - on the
LAN or on a WAN.
However, we've found it to be very intermittent, with sent mails
dissapearing (they're set to store on the server), deleted messages
mysteriously coming back and very slow initial log in.
Can anyone help me with settings, either on the Windows server or ont
he Mac's? I've tried using Thunderbird from Mozilla, and I have to say
it seems to run pretty well, but there is some reluctance to move away
from Mac Mail. Is my only option to run the accounts using POP?
Thanks in advance,
Lee
