Microsoft Exchange Client was a multi-purpose messaging product useful for managing e-mail. It was the native and bundled client for
Microsoft Exchange Server up to version 5.0, later superseded by
Microsoft Outlook.The original
Windows 95 "Inbox" client also used
MAPI and was called "Microsoft Exchange". A stripped down version of the Exchange Client that does not have support for Exchange Server was released as
Windows Messaging when Exchange Server was released to avoid confusion and later vanished as part of Windows 98 and later. That was because of the move to email standards such as
SMTP,
IMAP, and
POP3, all of which
Outlook Express supports better than Windows Messaging.
