Microsoft Exchange Server Features and Benefits:

Email
Exchange Server makes email much easier to use and administer.
 Centralized Address Lists: All email accounts are automatically added to the
"Global Address List" which is available to all users.
 Centralized Groups: Groups of users (e.g. departments, committees etc.) can be
created within ExchangeServer and then appear in the "Global Address List" which
is available to all users when addressing email.
Public Folders
Public Folders are centralized folders that can be accessed by all users. Access to these
folders can be restricted (by user or group) to provide whatever level of security is
required. Public Folders can contain various kinds of information including contact info,
appointments, Tasks, or Email. Some examples of public folders include:
 Contact information for clients/customers or vendors.
 Calendars to schedule the use of shared resources
like meeting rooms.
Group Enabled Outlook Features
With Exchange Server, everything in Outlook becomes "shared". Your calendar, task list,
inbox, etc. can all be viewed or modified by other users. You decide how much, if any,
access you want to allow to your information.
Meeting Planner
Exchange Server features a Meeting Planner that enables you to select users for a
meeting, checks each user's calendar to determine a free time, and then notifies each user
and updates their calendars with the scheduled meeting.
Out of Office Assistant
Exchange Server provides a simple tool to notify others when you are out of the office.
When you are preparing to be out of the office you can customize an email message,
which will be automatically sent out when you receive email. You can even have your
email forwarded to another person or mailbox so nothing falls through the cracks.
Outlook Web Access
Outlook Web Access is Web browser based version of Outlook with almost all the same
features. It enables you to access your email, calendar, contacts, etc. any time, from any
computer, via the internet.
Administration
Exchange Server provides easier and more complete administration of email. With
standard POP3 email, everything is stored on each user’s individual PC. With Exchange
Server, all the data is stored in a database on the server. There are many benefits to this:
 All email, contacts, calendars, etc. are included in the daily backup of the server.
When a computer crashes or experiences a hard drive failure, the email will not be
lost because it is stored on the server. If the server fails, the email can be restored
from the backup.
  When a user gets a new computer, you don't need to move the email data file and
email address lists to the new
computer. When you have Exchange Server you just configure the new PC which
mailbox to access on the server.
 Exchange server has some anti-spam features in place, adding another layer to
your control of unwanted emails.

Outlook Express 2003 Configuration:

1) Open Outlook Express, go to the "Tools" menu (if you get other pop-up screens when
opening Outlook Express, click the cancel button next to them until you can click on the
"Tools" menu), and click on "Accounts..."

2) When the "Internet Accounts" window appears, click on the "Mail" tab. Click and
hold on the "Add" button, moving your pointer over the "Mail..." label and release the
mouse button.
3) The "Internet Connection Wizard" dialog starts, begin filling out the information it
asks for: First, the name you want to appear on all your e-mails you send to people.
4) Then enter in your E-mail Address. The general form for U of MN e-mail addresses is
<internet_id>@umn.edu, so:
5) Next, enter the e-mail server information as is shown below, with "user1234" replaced
by your username

6) Now, enter your Internet ID and password for your e-mail account (you don't need to
put in the password, but if you do, it will be automatically sent to the e-mail server
everytime you connect to it so long as the check is in the box next to "Remember
Password"):
7) You should end up at this window, so click "Finish":
8) Now we are back to the "Internet Accounts" window, and you should see the account
we just created appear there (make sure you're still on the "Mail" tab if it does not):

9) Click once on the account you just created, then click on the "Properties" button, you
will see a window appear titled "<your_internet_id>.email.umn.edu Properties" that
has many tabs along the top. Click on the one that says "Servers". Verify that your
settings are the same as in the image below.
10) In that same window, click on the "Advanced" tab, and adjust the settings to reflect
the settings in the image below:
Outgoing mail (SMTP): 465
This server requires a secure connection (SSL): checked
Incoming mail (IMAP): 993
This server requires a secure connection (SSL): checked
If you frequently experience timeout errors due to large messages or a slow Internet
connection, you may wish to increase the Server Timeout value.

11) Click "OK" in this properties window, then "Close" in the "Internet Accounts"
window. Finally, in the main Outlook Express window, answer "Yes" to the dialog box
that asks if you want to download files from the mail server you just added.
