QUESTION:
Can I access e-mail on a Macintosh?
ANSWER:
Outlook Web Access is compatible with Macs, as is Entourage.
Check the System Requirements page for details on Macintosh browser compatibility.
Please note that for Mac users, only Basic service is supported. This means that the Rules tab is not available on Macs. Mac users can log on to a Windows computer and use Internet Explorer in order to create rules. The rules will be applied to the e-mail account no matter the operating system of the computer being used to view the e-mail. Thus, Mac users can create the rules on a Windows computer and the rules will still apply when viewing mail on a Mac.
While the Options tab is available to Mac users, the Reading Pane, Spelling Options, and E-mail Security settings are not available. These settings can not be applied to other browsers by logging onto a Windows computer.
