MS Documentation, Exchange client compatibilityHi. I have a client that wants me to provide Microsoft Documentation that
shows Outlook as being the only client for Exchange 2000/2003 server. This client wants to use Thunderbird on his company's computers, but also wants to maintain access to his Exchange server's GAL, shared calendars, tasks lists, etc. I've tried explaining that only Outlook (or OWA) offers access to the features he wants, as Thunderbird will only get him access to his POP e-mail. He doesn't understand why and wants me to provide MS documentation. Is there any KB article or MS Whitepaper that shows this information? If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! Josh On Mon, 11 Apr 2005 12:41:03 -0700, Josh Gard <Josh

You can use virtually any client you want. The protocols are all there. Providing users with documentation on how to connect mail clients to Exchange has got little to do with Microsoft over and above the Client Access Guide that is already in the Exchange 2003 Documentation Library at www.microsoft.com/exchange
