New Exchange 2003 Video Tutorial: Configuring Outlook to Access your Exchange Server (How to Setup a Mail Profile)

Configuring Outlook to Access your Exchange Server (How to Setup a Mail Profile) - view details
This user or new administrator video shows how to setup Microsoft Outlook the first time you run it to access the Exchange Server. When you launch Outlook 2000, Outlook XP, Outlook 2003 or even 2007 for the first time, it will prompt you to walk through the "Configuring Outlook" wizard (similar names among the various versions but all essentially the same). This configures what is called a "Mail Profile" that you can later access/modify via either the Control Panel or within Outlook. To be able to use MS Outlook within an organization that uses Exchange, you must set up a Mail Profile that uses Exchange Server. This video walks you through step-by-step how to configure the Mail Profile along with thorough explanations of what each box and screen means/does.

Confused about what "Use Cached Exchange Mode" is? Should you check the box for it? Watch this video and find out!
