Using Hosted Exchange Email with Microsoft Entourage

If you are using a Mac, you can use Microsoft® Entourage 2008® to connect to your Hosted Exchange Email.

Exchange 2010 does not support Entourage. You, instead, need to use Outlook® 2011. For more information, see Downloading Outlook or Entourage for Hosted Exchange Email Accounts.
