Default How does one "name" the server, to activate outlook?

After just having installed Office Professional 2003, I tried to use Outlook.
I first had to "activate" Outlook in order to use it. But before activating
it, I was required to enter the Name of the Server? How the heck do I find
out the name of the server? Am I supposed to make something up? Thanks for
any help from anybody.

I suspect you've added an Exchange account to your mail profile. In Control
Panel, run the Mail applet and choose E-mail AccountsView or change
existing mail accountsNext. If you see an Exchange account there, delete
it (unless you're at work and are using an Exchange server, of course).
