History
Microsoft Exchange gained wider usage with the release of Windows 95, as this was the only e-mail client that came bundled with it. Exchange was included throughout later releases of Windows up until the initial release of Windows 98, which by then also included Outlook Express 4.0.
- In 1996, Microsoft Exchange was renamed Windows Messaging, because of Microsoft's release of another Exchange product, which was meant for servers.
- Windows Messaging had two branches of successors:
- In software bundled with Windows itself, these were Internet Mail and News in Windows 95 (and bundled with Internet Explorer 3), which was succeeded by Outlook Express 4.0 in Windows 98 (bundled with Internet Explorer 4.0 in Windows 95) and throughout newer Windows systems. These did not use the .pst file type.
- Microsoft Outlook became the professional-grade and more direct successor of MS Exchange Client, which still uses the .pst file type.
