- Using Microsoft Exchange with Netscape Navigator 1.2
-
- This text file contains installation information for using Microsoft
- Exchange with Netscape Navigator 1.2.
-
- For updated general information about Netscape Navigator 1.2, read the
- README.TXT file provided with Netscape documentation. For updated general
- information about Microsoft Exchange, read the EXCHANGE.TXT file provided
- with Windows 95 documentation.
-
- Netscape Navigator supports the Messaging Application Programming Interface
- (MAPI) in the 32-bit version of the Navigator in Win 95 for mail and news.
-
- Microsoft Exchange is a mail application that uses MAPI to store and
- organize your mail. You need to install Microsoft Exchange before you
- install Netscape Navigator. If you have already installed Netscape
- Navigator, you will need to install Microsoft Exchange, then reinstall
- Netscape Navigator.
-
- Netscape provides an application called "Netscape Internet Transport" that
- works with Microsoft Exchange. Together, these applications let you send
- and receive Internet email and post news messages in Netscape. Currently,
- rich text format is not supported and you must have mail text if you want
- to send an attachment. Also, you can't include OLE objects in messages or
- embed Microsoft Exchange mail within your email.
-
- Netscape Internet Transport must be configured for Microsoft Exchange in
- your Windows 95 Control Panel. You'll find instructions in the next section
- of this document.
-
- After Netscape Internet Transport is configured, you can set Netscape
- Navigator's Mail and News preference so that Netscape Navigator uses
- Microsoft Exchange. To set this preference item, open the Mail preferences
- panel in Netscape Navigator (choose Options|Preferences|Mail and News) and
- check the "Use Exchange Client for Mail and News" option.
