Tutorial Homepage for Exchange 

Microsoft Office Outlook Exchange or Outlook Exchange is a personal information manager from Microsoft. Used mainly as an e-mail application, it also includes a Calendar, Task Manager, Contact Manager, and more.  JMU will be using Outlook connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server.  This will enable JMU faculty and staff to share departmental mailboxes, and resources.
