  • Exchange Unwashed Digest – February 2015

    February might be the shortest month but that’s no reason not to have lots to discuss on my “Exchange Unwashed” blog on WindowsITPro.com. Here’s what happened during the month – a lot about the new Outlooks apps and Delve, but some other stuff too, including a new estimate for the…

  • Exchange Unwashed Digest for December 2012

    I’m a tad remiss in posting the December 2012 digest for my “Exchange Unwashed” blog that appears on WindowsITPro.com. My only excuse is that I’ve been busy working on chapters for Exchange 2013 Inside Out (Volume 1 – Volume 2 is being written by Paul Robichaux) and should take this…

  • What to do about Outlook’s synchronization logs?

    Those of you who read my “other” blog (at WindowsITPro.com) are probably aware of my views on Outlook’s continuing failure to be able to suppress or otherwise deal with the generous number of synchronization logs that the client generates. Last May, I wrote about the fact that it is impossible…

  • Priorities for MEC 2012 attendees

    With the Microsoft Exchange Conference (MEC) just a month away, thoughts turn to the hot topics that will be discussed there. Of course, Exchange 2013 is the top order of business and Microsoft will dedicate the majority of their sessions to discussing the new server. Although I will pay attention…

  • Getting used to Outlook 2011 for Mac

    On November 8, I described how a brand-new MacBook Air had made its appearance in the IT lineup for the Redmond household and some initial teething problems that this Windows-centric (to date) individual had experienced in setting up this beautiful piece of equipment. It seems that the latest HP Envy…

  • Clients that support Exchange 2010 archive mailboxes

    My post describing the issues that can arise when you enable an Exchange 2010 mailbox to have an archive is one of the most actively discussed on this blog. I think that this points to a certain lack of familiarity that still exists around archive mailboxes. People haven’t quite figured out…

  • Starting a voyage with Mac

    I’ve been using DOS or Windows PCs since the first IBM PC appeared. Over that time Microsoft-powered computers have infuriated and annoyed me on a regular basis but I think that I am now inured to the ways of Windows. Perhaps this will change with the advent of Windows 8 and the…

  • Measuring Outlook 2010 network latency

    One of the truths often overlooked by those who wish to rush into the cloud is that the characteristics of their network will change dramatically. Some of the traffic that is currently processed internally will have to be channeled out across the Internet to the selected cloud provider. For example,…

  • Using Outlook 2003 with Exchange 2010

    I like Outlook 2003 a lot, mostly because it was the client that liberated users from the tyranny of extended synchronization sessions, often over a spotty dial-up connection, just to collect some new messages. In the bad old days pre-Outlook 2003, receiving a graphic-intense presentation from our friends in marketing…
