As a Mac user, you may have felt slightly left out when we offered all our Hosted Exchange customers a free copy of Outlook 2010 alongside their mailbox, and you might have had a little difficulty making full use of the available synchronisation features if you are running Entourage. If so, you’ll be happy to hear that we are making Outlook 2011 for Mac available for free to all Heart Internet customers with a Hosted Exchange mailbox.

If you have used Entourage alongside previous versions of Outlook, you will likely be aware of the feature disparity that exists between the two platforms. With this release the Mac software is brought in line with its feature rich PC counterpart, with full support for calendar and task synchronisation. We also support autodiscovery with Outlook 2011, so all you need to set up your Exchange mailbox is your username and password.

If you need help setting an Exchange mailbox in Outlook 2011, this support database article will guide you through the process.
