Hello lists,
=20
I've posted on this topic before and thought I'd inquire one more =
=20
time before I give up and take another path.
=20
We've had mixed results using the Apple Mail program with the =20
school's Exchange Server. There are so many inconsistencies that =20
baffle me to no end. For example:
=20
1) On the G4 in my office it works well. The only hitch is in the =20
morning as it loads the Inbox, very slow
=20
2) On the iBooks with PHD accounts:
=20
On some Books it can be configured using only the name of the mail =
=20
server rather than the full name: mail.school.com
=20
On others it works only when the mail.school.com name is used
=20
Today out of desperation I tried the IP address 10.1.xx.xx and it =
=20
work although there is still the dreaded loading of the inbox which =
=20
is slow. At that point it only quits when force quit is used.
=20
When used in combination with Noteshare it is a great tool for =20
mailing lab notebooks.
=20
=20
There also appears to be a location/model issue. We have few issues =
=20
in my Chem lab with MacBooks vs. the Bio lab across the hall with G3/=
=20
G4 iBOOKs. All base stations are set to be bridges, they are not =20
handing out addresses. All iBOOKs use static addressing.
=20
Perhaps it is time to throw up the white flag and move to Entourage.
=20
thanks
