I connect via IMAP or POP to the Exchange server. What must I do to connect?
To connect to Exchange, set your incoming server to exchange.purdue.edu. Exchange 2003 front-end servers can direct your connection to the proper mailbox server without you having to know what it is. The outgoing server should be set to smtp.purdue.edu, the mailhub routing cluster. Please make sure to select a secured connection for the incoming server. All IMAP/POP connections are required to be secure in the Exchange 2003 environment.

I am using a Macintosh. How would I use Entourage X to connect to the Exchange servers.
Currently, this set up is not fully functional. Calendar and Contact information is not synching as it should. We have submitted a case to Microsoft and will publish full documentation as soon as it works properly.

Using Outlook 2003/WinXP, I would like to connect to the ITaP Exchange server using RPC over HTTPS.
What is RPC over HTTPS RPC over HTTPS is a secure protocol for MAPI client (Outlook 2003) access to Exchange 2003 servers. Traffic between Outlook and the Exchange servers currently uses RPC over TCP/IP and is not secured; however, with RPC over HTTPS all traffic between the Outlook client and the Exchange servers is secure and will be protected by SSL encryption. How does this affect me? Because of the recent viruses and Windows exploits many Internet Service Providers have been blocking RPC over TCP/IP traffic. To connect to Exchange, from off campus, using a MAPI client you may need to configure RPC over HTTPS. What are the requirements for RPC over HTTPS? You must have an Exchange mailbox, be running Windows XP SP1 and patch Q331320 or XP SP2, and Outlook 2003. How do I setup RPC over HTTPS?
