Snow Leopard Exchange 2003 support?

Hallo,

can I use Snow Leopard to connect to an Exchange Server 2003? Is it supported? I only read that Exchange 2007 will communicate with Snow Leopard.

Thanks

The best you can do with that version of Exchange is to use its IMAP interface, if you have it.

Some people have been reporting problems with Apple Mail and Exchange. I couldn't get mine set up properly for some reason. I put the exact same settings in Entourage and it works very well. To be fair, my Exchange server is 2003 and Apple only supports 2007. I was able to receive mail in Apple Mail OK but wasn't able to send. Also, iCal wouldn't recognize my exchange settings in Apple Mail and therefore I could not use iCal either.

So... I have abandoned Apple Mail for the time being. I am using Entourage to sync with iCal and Address Book. I like Entourage better anyway to be honest.

There is one very minor annoyance with Entourage however. When I first start it up, I get an error message that says "Unable to establish a secure connection to [server name] because the server name or ip does not match the name or ip on the server's certificate". There are a lot of reports on this error message. I click OK and it does not resurface until I exit and restart entourage.
