I would like to know the advantages of Exchange 4.0 over Exchange 1.0 and its limitations.

Is this 1997? Exchange 1.0 didn't exist. Simon.Simon Butler, Exchange MVP Blog | Exchange Resources | In the UK? Hire Me.

Ok, then let me consider adopting Exchange 5.0 when it comes out. I hear Microsoft is working hard on it and it may change the landscape of email forever, displacing these UNIX based servers in the Enterprise. Of course, most people think that's about as likely as that other new technology, VoIP, making a dent in the mission critical Digital PBX space. :D

Not received any justified answer...

You are asking about products are that over 15 years old, so that is why no one is taking your seriously. I expect most people using this site have never even heard of them. This page at Wikipedia goes in the products in more depth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_Server Simon. Simon Butler, Exchange MVP Blog | Exchange Resources | In the UK? Hire Me.

Exchange 4.0 was the 1st release of Microsoft Exchange Server. Before that, there was release 3.x of Microsoft Mail. I might still have a copy of Exchange 4.0 from 1996 in the basement. I dumped the MS Mail stuff two years ago. :-) --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Haha Sembee... that Wiki page says that both Exchange 1.0 and 4.0 did not support SMTP. SMTP was first incorporated into Exchange in 5.0.

TechEx - you cannot use Exchange 4.0 and 1.0 on the internet. Both of these do not support SMTP.Clint Boessen MVP - Exchange Server, MCSE, MCITPx4, Dip Network Engineering Perth, Western Australia Blog: http://clintboessen.blogspot.com/ Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Believe Rich. He's even older than I am.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Exchange 4.0 supports SMTP with the Internet Mail Connector. It's how we connect our Exchange 4.0 server to Banyan VINES.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

It's right there on page 32 of the Microsoft Exchange Server (E-Mail Server with Integrated Groupware) Installation Guide (c)1996: "Internet Mail Use the Internet Mail Connector to connect two Microsoft Exchange Sever sites or to connect a site to an Internet mail system." --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

I think the biggest limitation would be that I doubt you could even install it on any modern OS. I suppose you could install it on NT4, but really, is this a joke? I honestly have a real copy of exchange 4.0, box and all, but it's a seriously LOL product.Exchange really wasnt any good until 5.5, and even then was seriously limited. Despite all the haters, I think the 2007 product is good, and my company has no desire to move.
