Title: Outlook Exchange Server 2003 Help?
Post by: RankenTech on September 25, 2006, 09:36:10 AM

Not the biggest Outlook buff here, this is actually the first time I've ever tried to use it. Here's my situation:

My college uses Microsoft Outlook Exchange Server 2003 to provide school email access. Here is the url: http://mail.insideranken.org  Is it possible to configure my home computer and my laptop, both running Office XP, to sync with my school email? If so, what information would I need from my admin, if any, and how would I configure it?

Thanks in advance.

You would need to know:

• account name
• password
• POP or IMAPI server
• In case of a POP connection: SMTP adress
• What ports POP/SMTP or IMAPI use (Unless they use the default ports in case of a non-secured connection

If you want to connect to the Exchange features from your home PC, I think you'll need to set up a VPN connection to your company's LAN first.
