MORE INFORMATION

Setting up the Microsoft Exchange Client on Your Macintosh

Your Macintosh must have at least 8 MB of RAM to run the Microsoft Exchange client. If you have only 8 MB of RAM, and the system consumes more than 3 MB, you need to remove some extensions for Microsoft Exchange to run.

Before you start:

  1. In Control Panels, double-click Memory.


  2. Turn on 32-bit addressing.


We recommend that you use System 7.5.3 or later. Additionally, on the Power Macintosh, we recommend that Virtual Memory be turned ON and set to a minimum of 1 MB plus installed physical memory. For example, if your Power Macintosh has 16 MB of memory installed, you should set virtual memory to 17 MB.

Follow these steps:
  1. Download the file Sp2_40ma.exe and unzip it.


  2. Copy Sp2_40ma.hqx to a Macintosh or PowerMac.


  3. Convert the file from binhex format. (This will require a utility on the Macintosh to convert from BinHex format.)


  4. Double-click on the Sp2_40ma file and it will self-expand.


  5. Open the Microsoft Exchange folder.


  6. Double-click Microsoft Exchange Setup and follow the instructions.


  7. Start the Microsoft Exchange client. The Profile Wizard guides you through the process of creating a new profile.
