If this is the case, you can still get the technical details of the servers, however, these services will always have autodiscover features applied, and I would not think that a hosted solution would not be operable in the ways we're talking about, as that's how they make their money.

So is there no one to manage the Exchange server on which your company has its email? No one managing the server? Seems hard to swallow. That's a pretty important thing to manage.
They host their own server. They did have a guy who set everything up but he moved on and they never replaced him. Basically when the **** hits the fan (which it often does) they scramble around and eventually pay him to come back and fix it (which he does reluctantly because my boss is a nightmare to work with). I get the feeling they're tanking and just trying to bide their time until business picks up.
