This guide should only be used if you are using Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.6) or older. Your ETH e-mail account will then work as usual, but you will not be able to use Exchange calendar functions. If you want to use the ETH Exchange Server in full, we strongly recommend the update to the current macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 (free of charge in the App Store) -> App Store -> Updates -> Install MacOS High Sierra. Important: Make a backup (e.g. with Time Machine) beforehand!
