Why are some of my buttons disabled? Like "Send new Mail"

[Guest]

I am trying to send a new mail - and add a new contact...but the button is
disabled. I cant even click it. I cant reply or forward mail either...

I have the trial version of Standard - is it because this is a trial? I am
getting mail fine....its just SENDING...

Sorry - its Outlook 2007. I just downloaded the trial of Standard 2007 and
it works. I get email - I just cant send, reply, or forward email...

What happens when you test account settings? What errors (exact message please) do you get?

I'm having the same problem, but it's not just outlook, it's all my office
products on my test computer. I have Vista Ultimate running Office 2007 and
I'm not able to modify excel worksheets, because most of the buttons are
disabled. As well as my outlook has new, reply, reply to all and forward all
greyed out.

I don't know where to find a utility to test account settings. I'm
connected to exchange and when new mail comes in I see it but I can't do
anything to it.
