We are in the process of evaluating CRM 4.0. The key stake holder of this project wants something that integrates with Outlook. From what I've read you can either use an E-Mail Router, which processes email from within the CRM Browser interface, or you can use CRM for Outlook which basically gives you access to everything you would see in the browser interface in Outlook. When installing CRM trial, on the screen that asks for "E-Mail router server name" I put in our Exchange server name, but the verification process rejects this. Is this because it is looking for the server where the E-Mail router is installed and not just an Exchange server? If you go the E-Mail router path does that mean that all you'll see in your Outlook inbox are the emails generated from/to you? If you go the CRM for Outlook path does that mean there is no email access in the Browser interface? I've read the planning and installation guides. Are there any other papers/web-info out there on this? Any help will be apprciated
