Skip the Unified Messaging service because I don't have the environment.
Shane Williams mailbox is in Paula Exchange 2007. If you move it to WesternData Exchange 2007 server, the Outlook 2007 client will be automatically configured with WesternData server. For Outlook 2003 client, you have to configure it manually to reflect the change.
