MS Exchange Service?

[gittyup]

My company just switched over to using MS Exchange as the corporate email server. All of the help docs on switching over say something about editing the properties of my Outlook 2000 MS Exchange service. It says from the menu Tools -> Services select MS Exchange from my Outlook 2000. I see no such option. I even went thru the MS Office 2000 CD and find nothing about MS Exchange that I can add. Am I missing something here?

Uh, i think in the control panel - click on "Mail" and configure it for your exchange server. I think that's how i did it at work.

fire up your outlook 2000, then go to Tools > Option , click on Mail Services tab, then click on Reconfigure Mail Support at the bottom of the pop-up. Choose Corporate or Workgroup. Hope this help.

Rt-Click your outlook icon.
Click "properties"
Click "Add"
MS Exhange Server should be an option in there.

Edit: Outlook icon, not exchange icon.

When I click on Controal Panel -> Mail, should there be something called MS Exchange Service?

Rt-Click your exchange icon.

I have no exchange icon.

No, you need to look for the MAIL icon in the Control Panel. Like somebody before me said, you get different options depending on the choices you make when you first open Outlook after the install finished. You need to reconfigure if you set it up for POP email first.

I hear the exception is Office XP, which does away with this kind of handling of mail services.

It is not entirely true Office XP is intelligent enough to fill in your username when you do the name & mail server check. Under Office XP you could put Jsmith and it will find & fill out the username as John Smith as Jsmith@mailserver.com instead of telling that it can?t find the user or can?t locate the domain. Under the older Outlook you have to type the correct mailbox name for the user as John Smith. You still have to setup the user and point it to the appropriate mail server under Office XP Outlook.
