OVERVIEW OF USING INTERNET MAIL
===============================

The Internet is a worldwide collection of thousands of
interconnected computers. You can use Internet Mail to
communicate with anyone on the Internet or any network 
with SMTP and POP3 services. With Internet Mail, you can
establish a connection to the Internet from your own 
personal computer, and send and receive mail over the 
Internet using Microsoft Exchange.

Tip
To view help for The Microsoft Network, click The Microsoft
Network Help Topics from the Help menu in Microsoft Exchange.


CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET USING A MODEM
========================================

To connect to the Internet using a modem, youll need TCP/IP on 
your computer, Internet Mail, Dial-up Networking (installed during 
Microsoft Windows 95 Setup or through Add/Remove Programs in
Control Panel), and an Internet service provider that 
supports PPP, SMTP, and POP3. Internet Mail receives mail from
POP3 servers and sends mail using SMTP, so be sure that the Internet
provider supplies these services.

Local and regional providers can provide the connection for you, 
and the phone call charge is usually at local prices. If there 
aren't any local services, check for providers with direct-dial
long distance charges. Check your local listings, trade magazines, 
or a local computer store for Internet providers.

Note
You also have the capability of using SLIP with Internet Mail.


CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET USING A LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
===========================================================

To connect to the Internet using a LAN, you'll need TCP/IP 
on your computer, Internet Mail, a network adapter (installed
during Microsoft Windows 95 Setup or through Add/Remove Programs
in Control Panel), and a server that provides a connection to the 
Internet and supports TCP/IP, SMTP, and POP3. For more information,
see your mail administrator.


USING INTERNET MAIL
===================

Internet Mail can be added to an existing Microsoft Exchange 
profile or can be used in a profile of its own. To create an 
Internet Mail profile, you specify how your computer is connected 
to your Microsoft Exchange mailbox and indicate your preferences 
for delivering and working with messages. If you want to have more
than one type of connection, you need to create a profile for each
type.

Your profile indicates how messages are delivered to and from your
mailbox. You can update your profile as needed, or when you are 
working with Internet Mail, you can change the message settings 
for individual messages.

You can specify several transfer options. These include the type 
of message format for outbound and inbound messages, the character 
set (depending on the message format you use), and the method for 
transferring messages. You can also choose to record session events
in a log file.
