================================================= Using Microsoft Exchange with Netscape Navigator 1.2 This text file contains installation information for using Microsoft Exchange with Netscape Navigator 1.2. For updated general information about Netscape Navigator 1.2, read the README.TXT file provided with Netscape documentation. For updated general information about Microsoft Exchange, read the EXCHANGE.TXT file provided with Windows 95 documentation. Netscape Navigator supports the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) in the 32-bit version of the Navigator in Win 95 for mail and news. Microsoft Exchange is a mail application that uses MAPI to store and organize your mail. You need to install Microsoft Exchange before you install Netscape Navigator. If you have already installed Netscape Navigator, you will need to install Microsoft Exchange, then reinstall Netscape Navigator. Netscape provides an application called "Netscape Internet Transport" that works with Microsoft Exchange. Together, these applications let you send and receive Internet email and post news messages in Netscape. Currently, rich text format is not supported and you must have mail text if you want to send an attachment. Also, you can't include OLE objects in messages or embed Microsoft Exchange mail within your email. Netscape Internet Transport must be configured for Microsoft Exchange in your Windows 95 Control Panel. You'll find instructions in the next section of this document. After Netscape Internet Transport is configured, you can set Netscape Navigator's Mail and News preference so that Netscape Navigator uses Microsoft Exchange. To set this preference item, open the Mail preferences panel in Netscape Navigator (choose Options|Preferences|Mail and News) and check the "Use Exchange Client for Mail and News" option. ================================================= Configuration Instructions The process for configuring Netscape Internet Transport differs depending on whether you have configured Microsoft Mail and, if so, whether you want to add Netscape Internet Transport to an existing or new Profile.
