About this blog ...
Welcome to my blog!
My full name is M. Amir Haque and I go by Amir (pronounced as 'Aamer'). I joined Microsoft in Sep. of 2000. I work for ‘Microsoft Enterprise Messaging’ group in Microsoft Services, which helps big enterprises (like Fortune 1000 companies) and professional customers with their Exchange Server based messaging environment. I specialize in ‘Exchange Client Connectivity' and mainly work with Exchange, Outlook and Entourage for Mac.
In my current role I work closely with Entourage product group in ‘Mac Business Unit’ (MacBU) at Microsoft. I have worked with Entourage since it started talking to Exchange Server with 10.1.4 Update for Entourage X, released on Aug. 4th, 2003. After that Entourage 2004 was released with new features and Service Pack 2 brought even more new features for Entourage as an Exchange Client. Entourage 2008 is the latest version released on Jan. 15th, 2008.
In this blog I will mostly talk about how Entourage works in the Exchange Client role when you connect to a mailbox on Exchange Server. I will post on how different features work in Entourage in relation to Exchange, how to properly utilize them to your advantage and their limitations. I will also discuss troubleshooting different issues and scenarios related to Entourage & Exchange.
Cheers!
