I'm working at a client site, and connect to their Exchange 2000 server via web mail. I have Outlook 2007 running as well connected to my companies Exchange 2007 over HTTP.
Is there any way to connect to the client's Exchange 2000 server using anything other than web mail? Ideally, Outlook 2007 would be able to do it, but I don't think that is possible. POP isn't an option, because I need calendaring.
Thanks,
Zach
Unfortunately, Outlook 2007 can only connect to one Exchange server per profile. To get this capability, you can upgrade to Outlook 2010. Outlook 2010 will connect to multiple Exchange servers in a single profile with no problem.
As a consultant, I have the need to connect to multiple email accounts all the time--my current profile is configured to connect to my corporate Exchange server, a client's Exchange server, two different Office 365 (Exchange Online) accounts, two different Google Apps accounts, and a Hotmail account. I love being able to easily navigate among all the different email accounts I regularly use via the native Outlook 2010 UI; I could never go back to multiple browser windows and Outlook profiles!
[I realize this is a 'stale' question, but I noticed it popped up in a search on the topic so I'm posting this answer as this information isn't reflected in any of the earlier answers.]
You can always use more than one Outlook profile.

There is a way of opening 2 Outlook instances running 2 different profiles.

I dont think outlook will allow more than 1 exchange server connection. One option would be using another email clients like thunderbird to connect to the other exchange server [I haven't tried it though]. In case you need to know how to configure thnderbird to connect to exchange server, here is a link.
You can create multiple profiles in Outlook. You won't be able to open them all at the same time, but you can set outlook to ask you whihc profile to open when you start it.
this is an old link, but the process is essentially the same if dealing with 2003 or 2007.

With Exchange 2000, external access is only possible using Outlook Web Access or POP/IMAP. With Exchange 2003 and 2007 you can connect using the outlook client using RPC, but not in 2000.
On a side, you can only have 1 Exchange connection in outlook, so you would have to use multiple profiles.
Apple's Mail Client will connect to any number of Exchange servers at a time. I believe that the Open Source Evolution mail client will similarly do so.

I'm trying to connect an application I've written with an old on-premise Exchange 2010 server. Obviously this is not supported, I was wondering if Outlook 2010 end users + Exchange online server would allow the use of Microsoft Graph API?
If the Mailbox is an Office365 Mailbox (or you've configured hybrid https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/deva/2019/03/16/deep-dive-how-to-configure-exchange-on-premise-server-hybrid-integration-with-office-365-test-rest-api-calls/) then you can use the Graph API to access that Mailbox. The version of Outlook doesn't really matter as the API is strictly service side, but depending on what your actually doing client side you may find a lot client side integration pain and you would be better to upgrade the latest version of Outlook on the clients. That would give you more options when you redevelop your application as you can make use of the new Addin's platform etc.
I have a requirement where I need to configure my CRM Online with an Exchange Server which is hosted out of my organization's Office 365 to sync Emails for Incoming and Outgoing profiles.
Of the steps, I understand that I need to setup and Email Server Profile of type Exchange that has Server Location pointing to the Exchange Server which I have been using currently. However, I get an error saying that the configuration is invalid and I don't get to save the Incoming and Outgoing server locations. Also, do I need authentication for the same? If yes, of whom should it be? The current Incoming and Outgoing is set to the URL. (Without '/EWS/Exchange.asmx' which is used by default for hosting it on O365.
Any help / links to blogs that effectively explain this would really help.
Thanks !
Supported email service configurations for server-side synchronization
CRM Online only supports Server Side Synchronization with:
Exchange Online in the same tenant in Office365 (mail, tasks, etc.)
Gmail or Yahoo! Mail via POP3/SMTP (mail only)
Anything else is not (yet1) supported.
1 Online to On-Premise SSS is supposed to become supported at some point in the future
There are three ways of handling email processing in CRM:
Server-side synchronization
CRM for Outlook
Email Router
Server-side synchronization does not support hybrid deployments (e.g. CRM Online with Exchange On-premise), as Alex mentions.
I suggest looking into the Email Router. You install it on a machine which is then responsible for synchronizing email messages between CRM and Exchange. For an in-depth explanaion, see Email Router Demystified.
If you also need to synchronize Outlook contacts, tasks and appointments have a look at CRM for Outlook.
I am trying to configure two accounts in Microsoft outlook 2007 connected to the same exchange server/same domain. First account is configured associated with the user but when I try to configure the second account it is giving an error :
unable to connect to IMAP server.
Can anyone assist me to how to configure the same or it is supported by Microsoft outlook 2007.
IMAP accounts are supported in Outlook 2007. The error message indicates a connection problem with the server, or incorrect configuration values. You must also ensure that IMAP connections are supported on your Exchange server.
Does Outlook2010/2013interface with anything other than IMAP or Pop3? If so how? While manual configuration of imap works, the autodiscover wizard is turning up nothing. I have the cname on my 1and1.com pointed to www.mydomain.us. The manual setup for Outlook.com or compatible prompts for a server. Is that supposed to be the same server as specified for the imap?
I am hoping that setup for Outlook clients on pc and laptops is as seamless as it is when the pc/laptop is on a LAN. Can Outlook Anywhere (over https/rpc) be used? If so, how does one obtain the proxy server names and settings?
When it is all setup will the enduser experiance emulate that of Outlook and Exchange 2010 in regards to calender sharing and contacts?
Thankyou for any insight.
I don't know what 1and1.com offers, however you can only use OutlookAnywhere (RPC-over-HTTP) with Exchange 2003-2013.
Outlook 2003-2013 can use IMAP, POP, Exchange MAPI (RPC). With add-ons you may be able to support other protocols, but I've never used any.
For autodiscover to work, you'll usually need Exchange although there are some ways to generate the autodiscover XML without Exchange. Outlook 2010-13 (and I think 2007 too) can try guess the settings for IMAP/POP settings based on your email address, but the server would have to use pretty standard hostnames and ports for it to guess correctly.
IMAP and POP only support email message types and will not sync contacts and calendars between the server and the Outlook client, not natively anyway.
I am working on .net applicaton that need to send emails to clients. I am trying to figure out what would be that best solution to send emails. Here is what i have considered. Could you please suggest what would be the best way to go for?
1>Windows server 2008 in built smtp
service.
2>Exchange server hosted in our
datacenter.
3>Use google apps for sending
emails(Basically same as gmail like
for custom domain).
I have explored all options and below are findings.
1>I think would be way to go. Also
supports drop in directory to send
emails so can achieve disconnected
email activity.
2>Application would be tied up with
availability of exchange server and
we dont have any exchange server
support personal. Only developers
poke around in exchange server and
got it working. So if option 1 is as
good as 2 then would like to go with 1.
Is there any drop in directory feature in exchange server like 1?
3>Tried gmail smtp stuff didnt
work. I was receiving timeout error.
Also there is no guarantee that
gmail will send our mail
reliability. They can decide anytime
to stop sending our mails as we are
using free standard version of
google apps.
Other questions:
I installed smtp service in windows server 2008. Now to use this do i need to change any MX record and anything? What i need to do so it can send email using my domain name. Or it can send email for any domain?
I would use a hybrid of 1 and 2. Use local SMTP, but have it relay to your exchange server. Emails will queue if it can't relay to exchange and you have one server(s) that handle all of your outgoing/incoming mail. This support doc explains this setup: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303734
You only need an MX record if you'll be receiving mail from that domain too.
I would also put in a reverse DNS entry for your domain, which will help with spam detection.
