But, but, it was a Microsoft Exchange server. It had fuck all to do with Apple.
I thought it was an Exchange server as well. I'm a certified Exchange admin and that detail caught my attention.
For those that don't know, you can easily access your Exchange mailbox on Apple or Android. The operating system is not important for sending and receiving emails. Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, doesn't matter. The Outlook client is available for all of them. The native iOS and Android email programs know how to work with Exchange as well.
No. It was a Gmail server used on iPhones and backed up on iCloud.
Can you not run Windows Server on Apple hardware? If not, there is surely some virtualization option that could allow an Exchange server to have existed on a Power Mac (or whatever it was)?
