I did not list Office 2010 or Office 2013 as they are at end-of-life. RPC is used for the older clients, and the new way of connecting to Exchange 2016 is using MAPI, which has to be configured on the Exchange end, and you need clients that support it. In Microsoft Office, whether you are running Office 2016, Office 2019, or the Microsoft 365 edition, you have a few options to choose from. Yes, that is correct, Mac uses EWS for connectivity compared to a Windows machine that will use MAPI or RPC, depending on the version they are running. We will go into a technical session on how to set up your accounts for both on Exchange 2016 and show you how simple it is.įirst, when you set up an account either on Mac Mail or Outlook, you will be making use of EWS in Exchange 2016.

Obviously, with Microsoft Outlook, you can do more than with the native Mac Mail. Mac Mail has been around a long time, but so has Microsoft Outlook for Mac.
