I've posted on this topic before and thought I'd inquire one more
time before I give up and take another path.
We've had mixed results using the Apple Mail program with the
school's Exchange Server. There are so many inconsistencies that
baffle me to no end. For example:
1) On the G4 in my office it works well. The only hitch is in the
morning as it loads the Inbox, very slow
2) On the iBooks with PHD accounts:
On some Books it can be configured using only the name of the mail
server rather than the full name: mail.school.com
On others it works only when the mail.school.com name is used
Today out of desperation I tried the IP address 10.1.xx.xx and it
work although there is still the dreaded loading of the inbox which
is slow. At that point it only quits when force quit is used.
When used in combination with Noteshare it is a great tool for
mailing lab notebooks.
There also appears to be a location/model issue. We have few issues
in my Chem lab with MacBooks vs. the Bio lab across the hall with G3/
G4 iBOOKs. All base stations are set to be bridges, they are not
handing out addresses. All iBOOKs use static addressing.
Perhaps it is time to throw up the white flag and move to Entourage.
