Microsoft Mail

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks is a file-based E-mail system intended for corporate usage. Its main competitors are cc:Mail from Lotus. A stripped-down version (server) was included in Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. The last version is 3.5 and was replaced by Microsoft Exchange Server (which continues its version number and begin at 4.0).

Its client software was also named Microsoft Mail and was included in some older versions of Microsoft Office such as version 4.x. The original "Inbox" (Exchange client or Windows Messaging) of Windows 95 also have the capability to connect to MS Mail server. Later, they were replaced with the much more powerful Microsoft Exchange and later Outlook (Windows) and Entourage (Mac).
