Using the Microsoft Exchange Client

This section describes how to use the Microsoft Exchange client, including discussions about Personal Address Book, Personal Folder, and sorting and viewing messages.

To start the Microsoft Exchange client

• On the Windows 95 desktop, double-click the Inbox.

  – Or –

  On the Programs menu, click Microsoft Exchange.

Note The Microsoft Exchange client opens in single-pane view if you start it by double-clicking the Inbox on the Windows 95 desktop. In single-pane view, folders and messages appear in one window. Clicking the Show/Hide Folder List button on the toolbar in Microsoft Exchange switches to double-pane view. In double-pane view, you can drag and drop messages into folders.

The Microsoft Exchange client automatically downloads mail from all service providers when you first open your Inbox. Consequently, if you have added multiple service providers to the Microsoft Exchange client, it might take several minutes to connect to and download mail from each of them.

After you open the Microsoft Exchange client, you can choose to download mail from service providers one at a time or from all of them at once. You can also set time intervals for downloading mail from each service provider in the properties for each of them.

To download mail after you open the Microsoft Exchange client

• On the Tools menu, click Deliver Now Using, and then point to each service provider from which you want to download mail. If you installed only one service provider, the option on the Tools menu is named Deliver Now.
