How do I keep the Exchange server address from changing?

26. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , ,
I am using Outlook with an Exchange Server 2007 from outside a company network. The address to this Exchange server is given as https://externally-reachable-address/EWS/Exchange.asmx . However, when I VPN in, apparently the Exchange server overrides this to be https://internally-only-reachable-address/EWS/Exchange.asmx and remembers the new address. When I stop the VPN connection, obviously the internal address is not reachable, so I will not get any email and scarcely a warning about this until I think to dive into the account settings and correct the address to point to the externally reachable address again manually.

For a number of reasons, staying connected with the VPN every second I want to use Outlook is neither preferable nor viable. How do I tell Outlook to disregard the change telegraphed by the server and keep using the address I entered manually?

(I know that manually remapping the internal server name to alias the external server name in e.g. the hosts file is a technical workaround - one that will create other issues instead and is not viable either.)

Outlook 2011 attachment send limit adjustment instructions

Outlook 2011
Exchange Server 2007 has been set by Administrator to 50mb attachment size.

We are able to send large attachments when accessing Exchange Mail via the web, BUT unable to send the same attachment message from Outlook 2011 via the same Exchange account.

How do I configure Outlook 2011 to allow larger attachment sending?

It comes up saying Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2007 is required.  
What exchange server does my outlook.com email use and where can I find the server details?
Should this be able to auto detect or do I need to enter details manually?
How do I find my server details on the outlook.com site

Thanks in advance

Outlook for Mac 2011 ( Lion) not getting emails from Exchange Server 2007 Sp2

Outlook for Mac 2011 ( Lion 10.7.4)and Exchange Server Sp2 ( 08.02.0301.000).
Accounts connect, but then no email gets downloaded.
Have tried connecting accounts either through Kerebos or
Name and Password, same results occur.

Do we need to move the Exchange Server to a newer Service Pack to fix?

Apple Mail works fine however.

Once again Outlook for Mac 2011 won't connect to my Exchange server.

Won't accept user passwords or user name according to the popup window.

Have also tried connecting to server when directly connected to the same network via ethernet as the server with same results.

All my other Exchange enabled devices work fine- Ipod, Ipad, Droid phone and Windows Outlook 2007 with same user and passwords.

Have also tried dumping the accounts, folders, etc per previous directions, it worked once but not now.
