Hi, I am having the same problem but I am a new user and Outlook will not
open at all.

I tried to my email account up in the Control Panel, Mail as you wrote. I
entered myemail and my ISP (Roadrunner.com) and it said it was all set up.

Outlook still will not open, and get the same two error messages as
before.

Please help! Thanks!

I just installed Outlook 2003. Upon first opening the tool, the
configuration manager started.

I entered incorrect information about my Exchange Server. I won't have
the
correct information for a few more days. Until then, I can't even open
the
tool or work offline. I get the message:
The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable. Outlook
must
be online or connected to complete this action.
When I click OK in the error message box, a new dialog box opens asking
me
for the url of the Exchange Server and my mailbox (with a check names
button).

When I cancel out of this, I get another error message:
Unable to open your default email folders. The file C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.ost is not an offline folder file.
When I click OK, the tool closes.

How can I back out of this and start over? How can I simply open
Outlook
so
I can at least access the help and other features for now.
