   Microsoft Exchange is a multi-purpose communications tool included
   with Windows 95. It allows you to send, receive, and view faxes and
   email without need for other external fax or mail clients.
   
   Using Internetworking, you can set up exchange to connect to workgroup
   post offices (WGPOs) on remote Windows NT and Windows 95 machines. If
   you're looking for instructions on setting up MS Exchange for use with
   Internet mail, click here.

What You Need to Get Started:

   [INLINE]
   
   First, make sure that your Internet connection to your provider runs
   well. Troubleshooting gets messy unless you know what works and what
   doesn't. To use Exchange over the Internet, you need the following:
   
     * A Windows 95 machine with a functioning PPP connection to your
       provider (Windows 95 does not support peer-to-peer networking over
       SLIP connections)
     * Tested ability to connect to shared resources (as shown in the
       Peer-to-Peer Setup Page)

Step 1: Verify that MS Exchange and MS Mail are Installed

   [INLINE]
   
   Press the Start button, select Settings..., then Control Panel.
   Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. Select the Windows Setup
   tab and make sure the Microsoft Exchange option is selected. Press
   Details... to make sure that the Microsoft Mail Services option is
   installed. If it is, go on to step 2. If it isn't, select it and click
   OK. Windows 95 will attempt to install the needed drivers, so make
   sure you've got your installation disks or CD handy! Now that MS
   Exchange is installed, you can proceed to step 2.

Step 2: Configure MS Mail Settings

   [INLINE]
   
   Press the Start button, select Settings..., then Control Panel.
   Double-click the Mail and Fax icon. The MS Exchange Settings
   Properties dialog box will appear. It looks like this.
   
   If Microsoft Mail does not appear as an installed information service
   (as it does in the picture), then press the Add.. button. You can
   install the service from the Add Service to Profile dialog, which
   looks like this.
   
   After installing the Microsoft Mail service, select it from the list
   of services and press the Properties button. You should get the
   Microsoft Mail properties dialog. There are eight sections in this
   dialog box - we'll deal with them in order. In each case, you can
   click on the section title to get a picture of the dialog box with the
   correct options selected.
   
  Connection
  
   Enter the machine name and directory of your remote workgroup post
   office (WGPO). If you'd like to use a test WGPO, use
   \\winserve95\wgpo000$. It's the test WGPO set up by Tim Hall at
   Winserve.
   
   Also, select how you would like Windows 95 to connect to the WGPO. The
   easiest is to select Automatically sense LAN or Remote.
   
  Logon
  
   Enter the name of your mailbox (most people use their username) and
   enter your password. You can also check the box to allow automatic
   password entry when you logon.
   
   If you're planning on using the \\winserve95\wgpo000$ WGPO, you'll
   need to fill out this order form. It's a free service for evaluation
   and testing use.
   
  Delivery
  
   Check both boxes to allow for incoming and outgoing mail delivery. The
   rest of the defaults should be fine
   
  LAN Configuration
  
   If you're using MS Exchange over a LAN to connect to a remote WGPO,
   select the options you'd like to enable. I suggest selecting options
   two and three.
   
  Log
  
   You can select whether or not you want to log imortant events with MS
   Mail. You can also specify the session log location.
   
  Remote Configuration
  
   If you're using MS Exchange over a Remote connection (such as Dial-up)
   to connect to a remote WGPO, select the options you'd like to enable.
   I suggest selecting all three options.
   
  Remote Session
  
   If you're using MS Exchange over a Remote connection (such as Dial-up)
   to connect to a remote WGPO, you can configure MS Mail to
   automatically start and end. You can also use this dialog box to
   schedule automatic sending and retrieval of mail.
   
  Dial-Up Networking
  
   When using a MS Exchange with a Dial-up connection, you need to
   specify which connection to use. You can also choose if you want
   confirmation before starting your remote session at Exchange's
   startup.

Step 4: Run Exchange and Use MS Mail

   [INLINE]
   
   Find the Inbox icon on your desktop and double-click it to open
   Exchange.
   
   If you set up MS Mail to use Remote Connection in the Remote
   Configuration tab above, select the Tools menu, then select Remote
   Mail and Microsoft Mail. You'll get the Remote Mail window, which
   looks like this.
   
   Select the Connect button from the toolbar, or choose Connect from the
   Tools menu.
   
   If you had mail waiting, it should appear in the window. If you have
   no mail waiting, send a message to yourself to test your connection.
   Refer to the Exchange online help files for instructions on using
   Exchange.
