Outlook Outlook is a client that you can use to connect to the Tmail Exchange system to check your email, edit your calendar, etc. A client is something that runs on a computer and connects to a server (such as our Exchange server, in this case). Outlook 2003 is the latest Exchange client for Windows. For Mac OS, Entourage 2004 is the latest client, and for Linux systems, Evolution is the client. You can also connect through the web, by using the Outlook Web Access page.
