The Microsoft Exchange integration ingests each connected user’s mail and calendar into Metal so they show up alongside the rest of your firm’s context. It also enables the same live mailbox tools as the Outlook connection in chat.

Connect your mailbox

Like the Outlook connection, Exchange is a per-user connection — you connect your own mailbox from Settings → Connections, with no separate admin step.
1

Open Connections

Go to Settings → Connections → Microsoft Exchange.
2

Add a connection

Click Add Microsoft Exchange Connection, then Connect, and complete the Microsoft sign-in. When you’re back in Metal, the page shows your name and email with a Connected badge.
Your initial mail and calendar import may take some time. After that, Metal checks for new and changed items approximately every five minutes. To remove your mailbox, click Disconnect on the same page.
Exchange and Outlook are different connection options. Both enable live mailbox tools in chat. Exchange also persists mail and calendar for each connected user so that information becomes part of your firm’s context.
