I have recently been appointed the I.T. guy for our office. I have been
asked if I can set up Exchange Server 2003 to do internal e-mail. I have
installed it on the server, but cannot figure out how to set up Outlook
express to access it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You can access Exchange 2003 mailboxes using POP3 with Outlook Express, but
to leverage the full capabilities of Exchange you should really be using the
Outlook 2003 client. This uses MAPI over RPC to access Exchange.

Did you mean Outlook or Outlook Express?

Mike, if you are going to deploy Exchange, you want to use Outlook as the
client. MAPI (what Outlook supports), is the access type of choice for
Exchange.
Not Outlook Express.
