Actually, there are shared address book AND shared calendar features in the new mail service.

You can share calendars using Mail.msu.edu by clicking on "Organizing" on the left, then "Calendar," open the "Calendar" window on the right, and select "Manage Calendars" to subscribe to other users' calendars. You can also give people read/write access to  your calendar to maintain it with you.

Knowledge base article number 11027 at help..msu.edu has address book information.

I?ll preface this with ?if I had to give up Exchange, it?d be over my cold, dead body.?

 

Now for the answers: You could still do distribution lists, but I think you?d have to configure them for each person, on their local client.  I don?t believe there are any shared address books.

 

For the calendars, I?m pretty sure it?s the same way.  There aren?t shared calendars.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Move users from local Exchange 2003 to MSU email

 

Can anyone share with me the pros or cons to dissolving our local exchange server and moving everyone over to MSU?s email.

Currently we have about 25 users and only about 7 of them use our local email..

If we move to MSU?s email, can we still have distribution groups setup and can we have a separate account that we can all view each other?s calendar?

 

Sorry if this info is already posted somewhere.. I just had a time crunch handed to me to get this info ASAP.

 

Thanks for any info or links you can send me
