CANT CONNECT OUTLOOK 2010 TO EXCHANGE 2003

Hi,

I recently downloaded and installed Outlook 2010 Beta. I set up my Home email account which works fine, however when i tried to set up my Microsoft exchange account for work i get the following message,

"cannot open your default email folders. you must connect to microsoft exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.Ost)."

I have no idea how to work around this as Outlook just closes when i click OK to the above message.

The exchange account i`m trying to connect to is setup as a seperate profile and I`m using XP SP3.

Can Anybody help

Dave.

Create a new mail profile and add the account again.
