Setting up email through a server

[Mike Johnson]

I tried looking through earlier post but wasn't sure if I was reading the
right information or not. Obviously any help you could provide would be
appreciated.


Currently my company (small office with about 5 computers and 5 users
connected to a linksys server running MS server 2003) use a web hosting
company to host our website and our email.

I would like to be able to have users at the office share some of their
calendars and other outlook settings. Right now each user has outlook
installed locally on their PC and downloads from the web when there are new
emails. Calendar and tasks are stored on the individual work stations.

Could someone point me in the direction I would need to go set up outlook so
everything is stored on the server, and users regardless f which station they
are at, could log in and access their inbox, calendar, etc...

I think i would have to install an exchange server on the server, but I
honestly don't know anything about that process.

As I said before any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
Mike

Have you taken a look at the Small Business Server?

 

[Mike Johnson]

No. Is small business server a software package, or are you regering to a
peice of hardware. I currently have MS server 2003, so I'd rather not spend
any more money and buy anymore hardware or software if at all possible.

It's a software package from MS that includes Exchange.
