I upgraded to Outlook 2003 from Outlook 2000 and can no
longer connect to my office Exchange Server (through a
VPN). I get a message that the server is unavailable and
an error number: 0x8004011D. Everything was working just
fine via Outlook 2000. Note: I've seen similar posts and
the suggested action was to create a new mail profile.
However, I can't "Check Names" for the new profile until
I'm successfully connected via Outlook (a Catch 22). Any
suggestions? Thanks! - Mike
 
I am having the same problem except I don't have a Microsoft Exchange Server. I need to connect via a POP3 server but I can't go in on Outlook and change the server settings because Outlook won't even open. I get the "cannot connect to Microsoft Exchange Server" message every time. Any help is much appreciated.
 
It's possible that you exchange admin has locked out certain versions of
Outlook. Check with them to see what versions are allowed to connect. You
can also narrow it down to a connectivity issue by trying to ping your
exchange server.
