Hi,

i just want to know the mail delivery protocol.

1) When i use outlook client sent a local mail to my colleague within a
organisation. What is the transport for local mail? via smtp ?

2) from my outlook client, i sent a mail to one of my mail-enabled public
folder, does the delivery via smtp too?

3) if i have problem sending mail to one of our mail-enabled PF, which
Diagnostic Logging protocol, need to turn-on for troubleshooting.

Outlook uses MAPI to send to Exchange.

This is an excellent reference and should answer most of your questions:
