Look in the headers from any mail. One originating on the system will most likely contain something like X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5 and one received by the system something like Received: from ... ([x.x.x.x]) by ... with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.3959) These tell you in this case that it's Exchange 2003. Kind regards, Dave

Have you tried the new Entourage with the Exchange 2007 integration? I'm expecting that to have proper push.

No idea why it doesn't work for me, then - obviously we don't have autodiscover set up. Although I was expecting it to do it all through the webmail address, as my iPhone does. I don't have Home / Student edition - I have Enterprise, bought from Software4Students. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' Alfa 156 TSpark Sportwagon Veloce Selespeed - Alfa 75 TSpark Lusso - Ducati 750SS - BMW R100RT - Toyota Prius T-Spirit

I just can't understand why an iPhone works, but Snow Leopard doesn't. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' Alfa 156 TSpark Sportwagon Veloce Selespeed - Alfa 75 TSpark Lusso - Ducati 750SS - BMW R100RT - Toyota Prius T-Spirit

I have an Exchange 2007 server, and it took all of what, 2 minutes to set up Mail, iCal and the Address book to use it. Im currently sitting on my Hotels Wifi connection in the South of France and its been happily syncing with Exchange for the last few days - I was bloody amazed if I am honest. It *is* an SBS2008 box that it runs on so there may be default things turned on with that install that isnt on a standalone one <shrugs> -- Gavin.
