Microsoft Outlook for Macintosh
google ad 120x240 white banner - Outlook pages

Microsoft Outlook 2001 for Macintosh is available in the CD set for Exchange 2000 Server Service Pack 1 (and later SPs). It operates only with Microsoft Exchange Server and does not support connections to other types of mail servers, such as POP or IMAP.

Outlook Web Access is another option for connecting Macintosh computers to Exchange Server.

Microsoft also provides Exchange Update for Entourage X to allow Office X or Entourage X users to connect to Microsoft Exchange.

Availability
  • Exchange Update for Entourage X
  • Outlook2001 download
  • Microsoft Outlook 2001 for Mac -- also included in Exchange 2000 Service Pack 1 (and later SPs); screenshots below.

  • Outlook 8.2.2 for Macintosh client --  Outlook 8.2.2 includes several bug fixes. 
    •

    Versions of Exchange Server before 5.5 included an Exchange client for Macintosh.

    None of these Exchange Server clients should be confused with Entourage, the PIM application in Office 2001 for Macintosh. Entourage does Internet mail only; Outlook 2001 does Exchange Server only.
