Changes with Exchange 2003

Global Address List

The different columns shown in the Global Address List is by design in Exchange 2003.

The lists you see under All Address Lists were placed there by the Exchange Administrators because they were felt to be more useful to users. Please let us know if you think we could improve the lists in some way.

All New Outlook Web Access

One of the biggest changes users of the old OWA will notice is the completely new Outlook Web Access interface. More info.

PDA Integration

Exchange 2003 also supports many PDAs and Smart Phones making it easy to access your e-mail from anywhere. More info.

From: Address Differences

Beginning with Exchange 2003 Microsoft is respecting the rules of mail transfer noted in RFC 822. This is a good thing. However, what people will notice may make them feel something is broken. The change comes because the Sender: header is now respected. If the address on the Sender: line is different from the address on the From: line then this discrepancy is reflected on the From: line as follows:

owner-test-l@slac.stanford.edu on behalf of Downey, Teresa L. [teresa.downey@slac.stanford.edu]

While this may seem odd, what it is telling you is the truth. The message had a Sender: of owner-test-l@slac.stanford.edu and a From: of teresa.downey@slac.stanford.edu.

If you had Rules set up based on the From: address then these are going to need to be updated.

Large Mailbox Support

These servers can support much larger mailboxes than Exchange 5.5 could. However, if you get your quota increased beyond 2Gig and you have not created a new Outlook profile since your email was moved to Exchange 2003 then you'll get error messages. The solution is to go ahead and create the new Outlook profile.
