I'm working at a client site, and connect to their Exchange 2000 server via web mail. I have Outlook 2007 running as well connected to my companies Exchange 2007 over HTTP.

Is there any way to connect to the client's Exchange 2000 server using anything other than web mail? Ideally, Outlook 2007 would be able to do it, but I don't think that is possible. POP isn't an option, because I need calendaring.

Thanks,

Zach

A: 

I dont think outlook will allow more than 1 exchange server connection. One option would be using another email clients like thunderbird to connect to the other exchange server [I haven't tried it though]. In case you need to know how to configure thnderbird to connect to exchange server, here is a link.

You can always use more than one Outlook profile.

But can we open multiple profiles at the same time?

As far as I know you can't. Only in case the mailboxes are in the same organization you could use delegates (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291626) to have more than a Exchange mailbox open in the same Outlook window, but I understand that is not the case.

You can create multiple profiles in Outlook. You won't be able to open them all at the same time, but you can set outlook to ask you whihc profile to open when you start it.

this is an old link, but the process is essentially the same if dealing with 2003 or 2007. http://www.cod.edu/it/howdoi/profiles/

With Exchange 2000, external access is only possible using Outlook Web Access or POP/IMAP. With Exchange 2003 and 2007 you can connect using the outlook client using RPC, but not in 2000. On a side, you can only have 1 Exchange connection in outlook, so you would have to use multiple profiles.

There is a way of opening 2 Outlook instances running 2 different profiles.
