Getting Entourage 2008 working with Exchange 2007 (bundled with Small Business Server 2008 in this case) is oddly confusing.
In the end, here is how I got it working:
Just in case your account name is different from your email address you need to use the email address:
Example:
Username: bobmarley
Active Directory Domain: contoso.local
Email address: bmarley@contoso.com
OWA URL: https://mail.contoso.com/owa
The proper format for the "Exchange server" field is in Entourage is:
mail.contoso.com/exchange/bmarley@contoso.com
Note:
mail.contoso.com/owa/bmarley@contoso.com
But that's not the way it works.
The URL that works is a standard from the Exchange 2003 days.
By default, the OWA URL used in Exchange 2003 is:
"https://mail.contoso.com/exchange" not
"https://mail.contoso.com/owa"
(In Exchange 2007 the URL changed from "Exchange" to "OWA")
Its just a guess but I assume that the developers were working with Exchange 2003 when they were coding Entourage 2008 so they followed the Exchange 2003 OWA URL Format.
