Microsoft Exchange is an email server solution developed by Microsoft for corporate clients. In simple words, it is a software that runs on a server and manages email services like incoming, outgoing, saved, draft, and calendars. Earlier organizations used the POP3 email that managed email by collecting it and sending it to individual computers, for downloading that email onto each computer.

The problem was if one individual computer crashes, then the emails stored in that computer gets destroyed. Microsoft Exchange instead of handling your email and storing them in the computer manages and backs up the emails on the server. It is designed to centralize the emails into one database.
