    that's not something that just anyone will know. That person will have to get the info from their work, I'm sure someone else knows it.

    Have your friend ask the IT administrator for the info.

    check the settings in the email client you are using at work, i'm guessing outlook? should be under mail settings/account settings, and look for something about pop3 mail server, or imap. and there might be different ones for incoming and outgoing.

    If he was one of my users he would need to vpn in to my network first and then and only then could he access the exchange server with outlook. Have him check with his IT staff. the may have a webmail section he could use.
