Exchange

The Exchange server is the premier e-mail and calendaring solution for faculty and staff. The Exchange server provides a complete groupware environment, including integrated e-mail, appointments, tasks, contacts, and public folders. You can use a variety of client applications to access an Exchange account. Microsoft Outlook for Windows, Entourage or Outlook via Citrix for Mac OS, Ximian Evolution with Connector, and the online WebOutlook interface provide the most functionality.

Important:
  • As of Monday, February 28, 2005: Due to critical shortage of storage space, the deleted item retention for Exchange mail was dropped from 14 days to 7 days. Additional storage is being configured.
  • Active Directory security was tightened on February 1, 2005 and, as a result, you can no longer access the Virginia Tech Exchange server using Outlook 2001 in Mac OS or an Outlook client in Windows 95/98/Me. For information on how you can access Exchange:
