I haven't done it personally, but supposedly Snow Leopard supports Exchange for mail and calendars. There are a few examples of it out in Google land, but I can't vouch for the accuracy.

Oh, and Microsoft is supposedly releasing a full-blown Outlook client in Mac Office soon.

OK, so my boss needs us to start using the Exchange server at work.

I use a Macbook and work from my home office.

How in the hell do I do this?

Ical, Address Book and the Mail app in Snow Leopard will snap in with Exchange....provided it's Exchange 2007.


For Exchange 2003, you'd need to have them by you Entourage, which is a piece of shtein.

Virtual Private Network. It's basically creating a secure, encrypted tunnel from a remote user (like you being at home), to the company's network. Using it, you'd be able to access your company's e-mail, file shares, etc., from anywhere with an internet connection. The fact that you are asking what it is leads me to believe you, and/or your company, probably aren't currently using one.
