Note:
Mac Mail only provides basic Exchange Support and will not provide full functionality for the Hosted Exchange Environment as it cannot synchronise Calendars, Contacts, Tasks or Rules.
While we can support the software a lot of the fundamental content of Hosted Exchange is not accessible via Mac Mail and as such we would recommend the use of Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac wherever possible
Server settings
Mac Mail does not support Autoconfiguration, so server names must be entered manually. Refer to the table below for the correct server names for each platform
