I am setting up a new POP3 account and keep hetting a message aout connecting
to a microsoft exchange server. this is a home account and does not need a
server connection save the internet based POP3 account. i have tried to
delete the MS exchange acc. but it will not let me. What can i do!!! it
started downloading emails from the POP3 server but they were not being
stored in the inbox. Any suggestions please?

Close Outlook, go to the Control Panel, double click the Mail applet,
choose E-Mail-Accounts and delete the Exchange account.
