Exchange Access for Mac OS

As of February 1, 2005, Outlook 2001 for Mac OS no longer functions with the Virginia Tech Exchange server due to security tightening in the HOKIES Active Directory. If you use Mac OS, you have the following two options to access your Exchange account: Entourage 2004 or Outlook via Citrix.

To compare the features of these two clients, refer to the Feature Comparison Chart: Outlook via Citrix & Entourage 2004 v11 (http://www.computing.vt.edu/email_and_calendaring/exchange/citrixVSentourage.html).

Entourage 2004
