Outlook   

I need to configure some Outlook clients so they could work with two
types of accounts:

1. SMTP/POP.
2. Exchange.

The Exchange account would be only used for Calendars, Todos and
Contact list.

SMTP account was set as default, but each time I do a test sending
emails from one internal user to other, the emails is delivered always
by Exchange and not for the SMTP account. Is it possible to force the
sending only by SMTP using both kind of accounts? Do I need to change
something in the Exchange server or in Outlook?

If it's internal mail,of course it's going to be Exchange. I really question 
the wisdom of this configuration - I'd recommend that you not mix & match 
account types. Have Exchange handle all the mail - you will be much happier, 
and so will your users.

Re: Outlook   

This was a requirement from the costumer, they need to use the
external account and not one in the Exchange. Is there a way to modify
the behavior described?

Re: Outlook   

She's telling you that Outlook doesn't work well in that configuration, and 
I agree with her.
