Microsoft Exchange

Changing Setting in Your MS Exchange Client
In many Windows 95 systems, you may see an icon on your desktop called InBox. This program, indeed, is called MS Exchange Client. MS Exchange Client is far more than an e-mail program. It was a core unit that Microsoft was planning to use as a single-stop communication program, a program that can handle fax, Internet mail, Intranet mail, schedule services and more. As the result, this program is a bit complicated (or, confusing) for many users.
