Hi all,
Just got a new MBP with Outlook 2011 on it, but can't for the life of me connect to my btconnect hosted exchange server.
BT have been useless in trying to help, not answering my direct questions about what version of Exchange they are using etc and just avoiding providing me with any useful support at all. Is BT still using Exchange 2003, which would be incompatible?
If anyone has any experience of setting this up, could you let me know. I can't even get it to recognise btconnect.com as a valid address and the configurator just has a fit.
Thanks
JR.
I was about to buy and iMac and install Office for Mac until I was told that it requires Exchange Server 2007 or later to function. BT's Share & Organise service is based on Exchange Server 2003 and so is not compatible with Outlook 2011 for Mac. There are lots of posts from techies on the web explaining why.
I'm now having to investigate buying a Windows 7 PC and am finding it difficult to get BT to give me straight answer on whether or not Outlook 2010 with work with the BT Exchanger Server. Microsoft says it should but no-one at BT seems to know!
Hi
Interested to hear that you got Outllok 2010 to work Ok with Share & Organise. Any tips that you can pass on about best way to do it or do I just follow process outline in BT's instructions on how to connect?
Thanks, nalp30
Thanks. I'll give it a go once I've bought new PC.
It is a joke how awful a company BT is. I am not suprised about this at all.
So is there any way to get BT to work with my Outlook for Mac 2011? Will it work with pop3 instead of exchange???
Any update on this?!
