Overview
Microsoft Exchange gives you the ability to communicate with a
number of electronic mail systems, including Microsoft Mail. You
can use Microsoft Exchange to gain access to your mailbox if it
is in a postoffice created by:
     Microsoft Mail version 3.0 or later
     Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 or later
     Microsoft Windows NT version 3.1 or later
When you start Microsoft Exchange for the first time, a wizard
helps you create your profile. A profile contains default
settings for how messages are delivered to and from your mailbox.
If you have used Microsoft Mail before, you can also use the
wizard to move the messages in your message file to your personal
folders file.
How you work with mail will determine whether you need more than
one profile. If you use one computer, typically you have one
profile that specifies a mailbox located on your computer or
possibly on a network server. You may also want to store your
mailbox on your computer if you have a dockable computer, if you
frequently work in locations where the postoffice is unavailable,
or if your message delivery is slow.
If you work on more than one computer and you use different
information services on each, you may want to create separate
profiles listing the information services.
If you share a computer with another person, each person must
have his or her own profile.

connection to your network may require a different configuration
than when you work online. In this case, you can create
additional profiles.


Message File

extension (for example, Joem.mmf).

A utility that enables messaging applications to do one or a
combination of the following:
