HELP!! - Installing/Configuring Outlook
Hi!
I have installed Outlook 2003 from a whole office pack succesfully. Originally I tried to use itto connect to my school's email, (which is an exchange server thingy) unsuccesfully, and now I have followed steps on the internet to connect to my Windows Live account. I downloaded the connector and ran it but when I start up outlook it prompts me "The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action" OK The another dialog opens and promts me for: Microsoft exchange server: _____________________ Mailbox: _____________________ Check Name Once the names have been checked and are underlined, click OK And from here there is nothing I can do OK and Cancel both close Outlook Any Help appreciated... 15912 |

Remove the exchange account from the outlook account properties (right click
outlook icon and click properties). Then you should be able to add your live accounts. "1591215912" wrote: Hi! I have installed Outlook 2003 from a whole office pack succesfully.

HELP!! - Installing/Configuring Outlook
Hi there, RockerRon
Unfortunately I've been unable to complete this- I'm not sure how to delete the exchange account, as I cannot get the actual Outlook window open, as ot close each time, therefore I cannot access the Tools menu, for example and I was unable to figure out your way of doing it. 15912 "RockerRon" wrote: Remove the exchange account from the outlook account properties (right click outlook icon and click properties).
