I'm using Outlook for Mac for corporate email, connecting to an Exchange
Server 5.0.
Are you trying to connect via AppleTalk or TCP/IP? I'm using TCP/IP and am
having no problems.

Two caveats:

The MS networking name of the server must be the same as its TCP/IP name.
So, if the server is named "Exchange" in Windows Networking, it's TCP/IP
name must be exchange.domain.com (whatever your domain is).

(If using TCP/IP) Sometimes, it is necessary to put the domain name of your
Exchange server in a HOSTS file on the Mac client. I don't know what
conditions require this.

Best of luck!
