Martin,

The process to set up the identity in Web Services is more or less the same as with Entourage 2008. The slight difference being that the server address field is not on the ‘account settings’ tab: it is on the ‘advanced’ tab.

You can enter https://webmail.ihostexchange.net/Exchange/youremailaddress@yourdomain.com in this field. Make sure that the box ‘This DAV service requires a secure connection (SSL)’ is checked and that ‘Override default DAV port’ is unchecked. If that doesn’t work, enter https://webmail.ihostexchange.net/EWS/Exchange.aspx in the ’server address’ field, and try again.

Another tip: the Account ID on the ‘account settings’ tab is not your email address: it is the SAM account name. To find your SAM account name, log into the SherWeb Control Panel, selecting your user and look in the User Statistics box.

I hope this helps.

Stephen – I have Entourage installed and upgraded to the Web version but cannot setup successfully the emails. The Sherweb guides you are referring to aren’t made for the web version (which has different screens)….any specifics setup to make it work?

RE: Adam – Snow Leopard and Sherweb Exchange 2007

Took a bit of guess work for me, but I found the following settings worked for Snow Leopard Mail:

In Preferneces/Accounts/Account Information:

Account Type: Exchange 2007
Description: (whatever)
Email Address: (your Sherweb email address)
Full Name: (whatever)
Internal Server: webmail.ihostexchange.net
External Server: (blank)
User Name: (SAM account name e.g. ihost\joe_blogs.co)
Password: (SAM account password)

Preferences/Accounts/Advanced:
Internal Port: 443 (use ssl ticked)
External Port: 443 (use ssl ticked) (may not be necessary)

I’ve just upgraded to Snow Leopard and can’t seem to get the Exchange 2007 account that I’m setting up in Mail to connect with Sherweb’s hosted exchange. I am able to use the account that is setup with Exchange IMAP (which I think uses OWA).

Can you post some screen shots or settings for me to use? I’ve iterated through a number of options to no avail.

Please advise.

Thanks!

It would seem so. Microsoft appears to be planning to include Outook in the Office 2010 for Mac release. According to what I’ve read, we can expect that sometime around end of 2010. So, start writing your wish list now …. only 416 shoppping days until Christmas … 2010!

What’s the word on Mac getting Outlook?
I heard 2010 … is that true?

Hi guys

Great post – we are heavy users of Macs and Sherweb Hosted Exchange here in NZ.

We have found an interesting issue with iCal since moving to Snow Leopard. The initial sync works great yet adding a new meeting with multiple attendees ends up with an error that means the hosted calendar is not updated. All the proposed invitees are there in the meeting when accessed via webmail but the appointment isn’t sent.

Any clues on how to resolve this?

Best Regards
