Microsoft Outlook

[Guest]

Trying to install Outlook 2003 trial version on a windows xp computer.
A microsoft exchange server window pops up and asks for
Microsoft Exchange server and Mail Box.
Can anyone tell me what I enter in those boxes or why I won't automatically
set up Outlook.
Thanks.

If you use an Exchange server for your mail, then you enter whatever values
the Exchange admins tell you. If you don't, remove the reference to the
Exchange account from your mail profile.

Most likely the Exchange Server account was setup when Outlook was first
started. You will need to create a new profile without the Exchange Server
account.

Well, no, a new mail profile isn't required (although it may be easiest),
but you are correct in your prior post when you said you have to add a
different delivery location before you can remove the Exchange account.
