Microsoft Exchange: The Basics

Windows 95 includes the Microsoft Exchange client, an advanced messaging application that retrieves messages into one inbox from many kinds of messaging service providers, including Microsoft Mail, The Microsoft Network, and Microsoft Fax. Its integration with Microsoft Fax software allows you to send rich-text documents as faxes or mail messages. Setting up Microsoft Exchange to communicate with service providers is as easy as connecting to different printers in a network environment.

With Microsoft Exchange client, you can do the following:

• Send or receive electronic mail in a Windows 95 workgroup
• Include files and objects created in other applications as part of messages
• Use multiple fonts, font sizes and colors, and text alignments in messages
• Create a Personal Address Book or use address books from multiple service providers
• Create folders for storing related messages, files, and other items
• Organize and sort messages in a variety of ways
• Send and receive messages to and from the following service providers:
  • Microsoft Mail
  • The Microsoft Network (online service)
  • Microsoft Fax
  • Other messaging services that use messaging application programming interface (MAPI) service providers
