OK so far I've finally installed Office 2007. Now I'm trying to access my exchange account. I read the FAQ and edited my host (/etc/hosts) file with the IP for the exchange server but I still can't connect. Any other things I may have missed? Do I have to be logged on the domain?

Hello,

Did you configure the Outlook Profiles in the bottle itself where Outlook is stored? You will need to go to "configure bottle" --> "control panel" --> "mail". Then setup your exchange server just as you would in Outlook.

Yes I did that and it did find my name and few other people in exchange. I selected my name and finished the setup. However when I try to use outlook it just keeps asking for my user name and password. I know they valid and I use them with entourage, same user name and password and OWA.

Can you double-check your server settings in outlook against another user's whose outlook is working?

How are you logging in?
The format for logging into exchange seems to have changed from crossover 6.2.

Use the format:
domain\user
pass

whereas in 6.2, I could get away with just
user
pass

Hope that helps...

I was using the wrong domain! D'oh!

wrong domain\user name = no go
right domain\user name = success!

Once I got the right domain everything worked, image that. This very impressive that I can run Outlook 2007 or even Office 2007 on my Mac. Thanks for your help!

Hello,

I can't open "configure bottle" --> "control panel" --> "mail". When I try o configure the exchange account in Outlook 2007, I am told to quit Outlook and use "mail".
Outlook 2007 runs under Crossover Games 7.0 (XP bottle). I can't figure out the problem and need some advice. Thanks in advance.
