Determine the version of Microsoft Exchange Server my account connects to

Some features of Microsoft Exchange Server accounts depend on the version of Exchange that your account connects to.

How can I tell if I have a Microsoft Exchange Server account?

Click the File tab. Click Account Settings, and then click Account Settings. On the E-mail tab, the list of accounts indicates the type of each account.

To determine the version of Exchange that your account connects to, do the following:

1. With Microsoft Outlook running, press and hold CTRL while you right-click the Outlook icon in the notification area.
   

2. Click Connection Status.

3. Move the horizontal slider all the way to the right.

   Note

   Under the Version column heading, note the number that appears.
