I was configuring my Outlook Office 2003. I was successful with E-Mail
Accounts like POP3, Hotmail, Mail. I could not understand mail.contoso.com
and POP3.litwareinc.com. I thought of coming back to these later. I
understand that by having Microsoft Exchange ServerI do not need other E-Mail
Accounts. So I went to configure this. First thing the computer asked me to
the name the Exchange which I could use. I tried to put Exchange server 2003
and the Mailbox with my user name and it was of no use! and I cannot use my
Outlook 2003.
 
contoso.com is a fictitious domain that Microsoft uses in their
documentation and samples. So when it is suggested in documentation, it
just a sample that this is where your site should place in the name of your
exchange server.

To illustrate the above better, if I worked in a company whose domain name
is widget.com and the name of the exchange server is EXCH01, then I would
type in EXCH01.widget.com and my lan id when setting up the properties for
the Exchange account in Outlook.

So I guess the big question is, are you studying or laying out a mock
configuration to help understand how Outlook works with Exchange?
