If you browse to https://mail.exchangeserver.com/rpc do you get a
certificate warning?
You've installed the hotfix?
Firewall won't matter as long as it's passing 443 traffic.
In outlook, if you go to your e-mail accounts, you're referring to your
exchange server by it's internal name?
Under the Exchange Proxy settings in Outlook, you've got the first textbox
as mail.exchangeserver.com ?
Under the second, you've got msstd:mail.exchangeserver.com ?
And then you've got Basic AUthentication selected at the bottom?
