SharePoint & Exchange Server

The Power of SharePoint with Exchange!

Hosted Exchange 2010 and SharePoint 2010 integrate tightly with one another, resulting in a cost saving blend of on-premise and hosted solutions. Use Exchange Server as an outgoing email server for SharePoint. Exchange and SharePoint 2010 also work well with almost any internet browser: Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, etc...

Integrating Exchange 2010 with SharePoint2010
In addition to allowing for inbound mail access from Exchange directly into SharePoint
libraries and lists, SharePoint 2010 and Exchange 2010 contain several other integration
points, such as the ability to relay outgoing alert messages through the Exchange server
and the ability for personal sites to link directly to Exchange inboxes, calendars, and other
information directly from a SharePoint site.

Link Calendars, Contacts, and Inbox Items in Exchange 2010 from SharePoint Sites
SharePoint 2010 web parts allow for smooth integration with Exchange OWA, allowing for
inboxes, calendars, and other mail data to be accessed directly from a SharePoint site.
SharePoint 2010 contains built-in web parts to link to Exchange OWA content, and integrates best with Exchange 2010 OWA. Older versions of Exchange, such as Exchange 2003
OWA, are supported, but the integration is not as tight.

Using SharePoint 2010 to Replace Exchange Public Folders
SharePoint 2010 is listed as the successor to public folder technology in Exchange 2010. SharePoint functionality has slowly been replacing all of Exchange's public folder functionality, and is close to providing all the functionality that was previously provided by public folders. With the concept of email-enabled content, where emails are automatically added to content libraries and lists, SharePoint moves even closer to this goal.
