Exchange Mail with Leopard

Exchange Email

The main Mac@NUS guide has been updated to reflect the configuration on Snow Leopard. If you are running an older Mac OS X, like 10.5 (Leopard), which doesn’t Exchange 2007 directly, here’s what to configure to access your Exchange mail via IMAP.

1. Start the Mail application.
2. Press Command-comma.
3. Press the + sign.
4. Type in your Full Name and Email Address. The Password is not necessary at this point.
5. Click Continue.
6. For Account Type, choose Exchange IMAP.
7. For Description, enter NUSNET or anything you like to describe this account.
8. For Incoming Mail Server, enter imap.nus.edu.sg.
9. For User Name and Password, enter your NUSNET account details.
10. For Outlook Web Access Server, enter exchange.nus.edu.sg.
11. Click Continue.
12. For Description, enter NUSNET Outgoing or anything you like.
13. For Outgoing Mail Server, enter smtp.nus.edu.sg.
14. Check the Use Authentication checkbox.
15. For User Name and Password, enter your NUSNET account details. Your User Name needs to be in <domain>\<userid> format.
16. Click Continue.
17. Your Account Summary window should look similar to this. Click Create.

You’re done. The Mail application should now connect to your Exchange account, grab the list of folders, synchronize email, etc.
