Exchange and AT&T Worldnet Service

This document contains information necessary to set up Microsoft Exchange to access to AT&T Worldnet Service mail. Neither AT&T Worldnet Service nor Microsoft have sanctioned this document and neither are responsible for its contents. These instructions assume you have Microsoft Plus for Windows 95 installed on your computer. Also, there is an upgrade available that speeds it up considerably, and renames it to Windows Messaging. We recommend that this upgrade be installed. To configure Exchange, you will need your account information.

Note: You will need to find your AT&T Worldnet Service account information.
