Thanks,
They are running Exchange 2007. I am currently using IMAP and it works
but I have to send email through my ISP.
My macs are good clients so I can send/ receive by talking to the Exchange
server.
I use Mobile Me to manage my calendars.
I will take a look at the mapi back end. Does it come with documentation
on how to set up accounts?
