Default The connection to Microsoft exchange server is unavailable

Hi, I've been having some problems setting up outlook 2007, I recently
followed a guide on setting up my email address on outlook 2007, but after
following the instructions and opening outlook I receive this message "The
connection to Microsoft exchange server is unavailable. Outlook must be
online or connected to complete this action." It then asks me for my
Microsoft exchange server and mailbox information. I then proceed to check
name and it says "the name cannot be resolved. The connection to Microsoft
exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this
action." Then it goes on to tell me the file i need to open is not an offline
file. Now my email account is an online uni email account and so other posts
with similar problems don't help me with the solution. How do i turn outlook
online?

If you don't connect to a Microsoft Exchange server for e-mail and are only
working with an ISP's POP3/IMAP server, remove this account type from your
Outlook setup. You can do this via the mail applet in the control panel.

How do I find the mail applet in the control panel? I am having the same
issue with Outlook 2007.

Thanks,

If you're using a 64 bit version of Windows, you'll need to view the 32 bit
Control Panels (in the "Other Options" in Control Panel) in order to see it.
