How to Configure Outlook Express in Mac Mail 3.6 Exchange

Mail comes preinstalled on every Mac computer.

Mail is the default email application that comes preinstalled on every Mac computer. You can configure this application to work with a number of email account types, including Microsoft Exchange accounts that are traditionally used with the Outlook and Outlook Express programs on a Windows-based computer. If you want to configure Mail to work with your Outlook Express Exchange account, you must add the account to the application through the "Add Account..." menu.

Instructions

1. Click the "Finder" icon in the computer's dock, followed by the "Applications" folder. Double-click the "Mail" application icon to launch the application.

2. Click the File menu and select the "Add Account..." option. Type your name, Exchange account email address and password in the spaces provided and click the "Create" button to continue.

3. Click the arrow to the right of the "Account Type" heading and select the "Exchange 2007" option from the drop-down menu.

4. Enter the account's description, incoming mail server address, username and password in the spaces provided. Click the "Continue" button to continue.

5. Click the "Create" button to add the account to the Mail application. Now, you can access your Exchange account just as you would in Outlook Express.
