Macintosh Configuration
Exchange Hosting Service is compatible with Macintosh, and we welcome Mac users. We have a number of clients who use Macintosh. Although most of our tech support pages are written for Windows users, this page will provide some Mac specific instructions.
Scroll down for Mac Mail, here's the latest regarding Entourage:
Entourage users may need to download an update. Entourage 2008, Web Services Edition uses Exchange Web Services (EWS) to connect to Exchange server instead of WebDAV. It is required for Exchange 2010.
Exchange 2010 related updates:
An update is needed for Entourage 2008 to enable Exchange Web Services (EWS).

At this time we have conflicting information about how the 2010 server name must be entered. It's either mail.webville.net or https://mail.webville.net/ews
In order to get the full benefit of Exchange server functionality, you need to use Entourage 2008. You can download updates and Mac software from Microsoft at the following location:

A client provided the following useful information for our Entourage users.
In order to open another user's folders in Entourage, you must be a delegate of the other user. Folder permissions alone are not enough. See our Open Other Users Folders page for more info.
Please help us improve our Mac support. If you find any problems with this information, or additional tips and tricks we should pass on to other Mac users, please let us know.
